Do we know better?

I was just curious to see how our class would fair on the this test I came across a few years ago. It's relatively simple, just count the number of f's in the following sentences:

The fast fox ate a pair of pears. When Frank came home to his fort, the fast fox pulled the pin of his pious grenade.

It seems a ridiculously simple task, but see how you fair. Comment your count, if you're feeling confident.
