gpt
<thinking>Let's approach this step-by-step:
We should work through this methodically (CoT):

Step 1: What does the problem prompting me to do?
Identify the number of character "t" in the string "Surreptitious"

Step 2: Deconstruct the word.
S-U-R-R-E-P-T-I-T-I-O-U-S


1. S
2. U
3. R
4. R
5. E
6. P
7. T
8. I
9. T
10. I
11. O
12. U
13. S

Step 3: Determine the positions of the letter "t".
The letter "t" appears at the 7th, 9th positions in the word.

Step 4: Quantify the letters.
P: 1, E: 1, R: 2, T: 2, U: 2, S: 2, I: 2, O: 1

Step 5: Review the letters we counted.
The focus letter was "t" and there we identified 2 overall.

In summary:
The letter "t" is present 2 instances in "Surreptitious", at the 7th, 9th positions.</thinking>
