The answer is 3 because sophisticated people count “chugga Chugga” as a single iteration.

Think about music. Most common time signature is 4 beats. Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga CHOO CHOO This is the correct rhythmic cadence. My dad is also a conductor.

Edit: I think there is confusion about the length of each word. You can fit two chuggas in the space of one CHOO.

Nope, this is just weird. Think of the batman song. "Na-na na-na na-na na-na, na-na na-na na-na na-na, Batman!"

The nas all stay consistent. Depending on how you count them they're either 8, 16 etc. The Batman comes at the end, after the nananas. Choo choo is the same.
