Look what I saw this week.

An unimaginable quantity of otters.

"the number of otters I can possibly imagine... is ten"

spot on ... despite your silence, you've been doing good work on the otter-front.

I count nine, there, Finnemore.

I STILL WIN.

Ed, the rank incompetence at otter-counting you display here (There are ten otters. Go back and look again. Carefully, this time.) not only makes you look foolish now, but casts a retrospective doubt on the otters you 'saw' last time. Were there really ten? Or nine? Or six? Quite frankly, Ed, how can we be sure you have ever seen an otter?

I too can only see nine otters. At first I was mortified that the inexhorable passage of time had robbed me of my ability to count, but then it dawned on me that this newly onset dyscalculia most likely applies uniquely to Otters. If I cannot imagine ten Otters, how could I possibly expect myself to count them?

Seriously, where's the 10th one hiding? It's driving me nuts. I can see 5 in that cluster in the middle, with the 4 obvious outliers? Is there a sixth member of the cluster, or is there an otter camouflaged among the sticks and rocks in the background? I can't believe how deeply I seem to care about this.

There are definitely 10. 4 outliers and 6 in the cluster. If you click on the picture it makes it big, and easier to count them.

No ... you're all wrong ... the 10th one took the bloody picture!

Could you fit them all on a business jet though? Or would one have to go in the fridge? :)

I'm going to guess that the otter that if giving people the hardest time is the one where you can only see its ear.

moving from right to left. see the otter nuzzling the other one? right before your eyes get there, there should be a little otter ear. if you look closely that ear does not belong to a nuzzling otter.
