- ubersync 9y agoBut then, the poem will be 124 words (by changing "thirty two" to "eighteen"), so we will have to change 125 to 124. Then, he will be able to say "I love you" an exactly 18 times. So now we are 3 words shorter (by removing "and a third"). So it comes 121. With 121 words, he will be able to say "I love you" exactly 17 times. So, there you go. Change "one sixty seven" to "one twenty one", and "thirty two and a third times" to "seventeen times".
- cup-of-tea 9y agoIt's actually "thirty-two" which, by the rules established in the poem, counts as one word only. It works with 125 words by chance. The author missed an opportunity for a neat hack.
- yeukhon 9y agoWhere did he say 97 words to say I love you? I don't see that in the poem. Am I too dumb to see what is happening!???
- Harvey-Specter 9y ago> so I slowly whisper I love you > thirty-two and a third times. "I love you" is 3 words. 3 * 32.333333 = 97
