Me too. I'm always waiting for a catch in these sort of problems

True or False
Outside Bristol Zoo there is a carpark for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, it’s parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were £1.40 for cars and £7 for buses.
Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day of work, he just didn’t show up; so the Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent.
The Council did some research and replied that the carpark was the Zoo’s own responsibility.
The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee.
The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll.
Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy … is a man who’d apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about £560 per day — for 25 years.
Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over 7 million pounds … and no one even knows his name.

Have heard this before. No idea if it's true or false but a cracking tale regardless

Totally untrue, it's an April Fool's gag that first surfaced in 2007 - according to Bristol Zoo. Sorry if any bubbles burst

Glad I was late to the party on this, as I couldn't see anything wrong with the first one (thought it maybe something to colours of the rainbow and one of the colours of the number were in the wrong order)
And only saw 3 f's on the other one, until I read other people saying 6 is the answer, so I then looked more carefully. Gosh my English has always been bad!

Still only getting 3. There must be a block somewhere on my screen that hides the other 3
Okay, now I've got it. I hate those things. You know you are being tricked but they work so well.

Notwithstanding the 2 thes...
Don't think 4 should be there, and 9 should be ahead of 8 (which should either not be there or should also be there as zero).

How many locks open
Only 3, if there's anymore than that the pictures not clear enough to spot them any better!

3 are open. But that wasn't the question. You asked how many open, not are open. They'll all open if you have the key.
Stupid play on words
Or someone making an assumption?

Or you could say, all of them except the ones that are already open.
