Question

My mother is typing slow. I hear five taps on the keyboard. How many keys did she press? (I'm being serious!)

Answer 1

... 5 maybe?

Answer 2

Incorrect.

Answer 3

This doesn't seem like a serious question...

Answer 4

It's not applicable because she could've been banging her head on the keyboard.

Answer 5

The answer is four. She was typing "pizza".

Answer 6

How would we know that?

Answer 7

Pizza is 5 letters she pressed 5 keys...

Answer 8

She pressed the "Z" key twice. She only pressed four keys.

Answer 9

John means that she pressed the z button twice, which makes it the same key. So

P=1
I=1
Z=1
Z=0 (because its already been said)
A=1

So that is four.

Answer 10

But how are we supposed to know that she typed "pizza"?

Answer 11

You should've specified she pressed 5 keys in all she typed 4

Answer 12

Its a riddle.

Answer 13

Then there wouldn't be a question.

Answer 14

Just..... Just close this

Answer 15

Please just close the question. Its spam and it makes no sense plus it doesn't belong in the mathematics section anyway!

Answer 16

This is only my second attempt at a riddle. My first one was deleted by a mod for being "disgusting".

Answer 17

And it does require math to solve.

Answer 18

But you didn't tell us what she was typing in.

Answer 19

So would we know . . .
