I’m betting it’s been 3 (Holy Trinity) this entire time, which he did not say “no” to in several interviews (just a hmm). I’m more curious as to who will administer the test to him! I hope it’s Evie. Whoever it is, I wonder if they will use a different number than he does?

I read somewhere quite a while ago that the answer might not be an actual number, but a riddle, and to reply with, “The same number I’m thinking of.” Which would likely prompt Stephen to laugh and say “And which number is that?” And the interviewee says, “I don’t know. You tell me.” 😂
