Your task is to fill in the spaces in the selection below with simple integers, so that the entire selection is true. There's no wordplay involved, or anything else shifty - it's just a mater of finding the set of responses that don't invalidate something elsewhere in the group:
- - - - -
The number 0 appears __ times.
The number 1 appears __ times.
The number 2 appears __ times.
The number 3 appears __ times.
The number 4 appears __ times.
The number 5 appears __ times.
The number 6 appears __ times.
The number 7 appears __ times.
The number 8 appears __ times.
The number 9 appears __ times.
- - - - -
Your job - copy the text between the dividers, and paste it with your responses in each blank so that each line is true for the entire selection. For instance, you cannot put a "1" on the second line, because once you do, there are two instances of the number "1" in the selection. If you put down a "2" on the second line, then you can only use the number "1" one more time anywhere else in the puzzle, so the total works out correctly.
Good luck.
