can anyone figure out this puzzle?

Question

Bernard the Dog is a very intelligent pet. It knows how to count... sort of.

When you say "one", it stomps its paw one time. When you say "two", it does it twice. When you say "three", it stomps its paw three times.

After that, though, the stomps seemingly don't match up with what you say. When you say 4, it stomps twice. When you say 5, it stomps once. When you say 6, it stomps twice. When you say 7, it stomps 3 times. When you say 8, it stomps 4 times. When you say 9, it stomps twice, and when you say 10, it only stomps once.

When you say 15, it stomps twice, and when you say 20, it also stomps twice.

How many times will it stomp its paw when you say "33"?

Answer 1

Daisukidesuyo had the right idea but the wrong answer and and Kevin H had the right answer but the wrong idea.

Bernard will stomp his paw six times when you say "33."
The number of times the Bernard stomps his paw corresponds to the number of characters in the roman numeral representation of the number being called.
1 I 1 character
2 II 2 characters
3 III 3 characters
4 IV 2 characters
5 V 1 character
6 VI 2 characters
7 VII 3 characters
8 VIII 4 characters
9 IX 2 characters
10 X 1 character
15 XV 2 characters
20 XX 2 characters
33 XXXIII 6 characters
Seems like the Bernard knows more than just how to count--he even knows roman numerals and can visualize and count mental images!

Answer 2

5 times

Answer 3

7

Answer 4

3, because it stomps to the number of digits of the roman numeral of the number. Ex 4 = IV = 2 stomps

Answer 5

6 because it goes off of roman numerals. 33 is XXXIII which is 6.
I like how you changed "bernard the dog." You're playing neopets.

Answer 6

the answer is 6 times. It is based on roman numerals. the roman numeral for 33 is XXXIII which is 6 characters. So that is one smart dog

Answer 7

2 for 20
1 for 10
3 for 3

Answer 8

Answer 9
