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

Step 1: How do we understand the inquiry prompting me to do?
Determine the number of character "i" in the word "Surreptitious"

Step 2: Dissect the word.
S-U-R-R-L-Z-T-I-T-B-O-F-S


Step 3: Oops, I made a mistake. The word I used above is incorrect. Let me correct that.
The correct word is "Surreptitious", not "surrlztitbofs". I apologize for the error.

Step 4: Let's continue with the correct word. Spell out the word with numbered positions:

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 5: Pinpoint the positions of the letter "i".
The letter "i" appears at the 8th, 10th positions in the word.

Step 6: Sum up the letters.
P: 1, E: 1, R: 2, T: 2, U: 2, S: 2, I: 2, O: 1

Step 7: Inspect the letters we summed up.
The selected letter was "i" and there were 2 in all.

Final answer:
The letter "i" is present 2 instances in "Surreptitious", at the 8th, 10th positions.</thinking>
