Hey, i don't know who got the authority to set the question but I believe I was given the right to set this question. Well, In The Seven Crystal Balls, Haddock wears monocles but he breaks many within a short period of time. So, How many times Haddock breaks his monocles?(the count starts from the first frame which Haddock fell off a horse. That was counted as one)

P.S: This question requires swift counting and close attention to all the frames of that album. Hint: Haddock wears a monocle till his last monocle around page 29-30. Good luck!

If you are considering every time the monocle drops, the answer should be 8 TIMES.

I agree with alvarolino. If the monocle falls from his eye, the answer is eight times. However, are you looking for instances of breakages specifically?

Well, you're both correct, Ranko and alvarino. It was 8 times. But specifically it was 9 if you count the event which we didn't see Haddock break a monocle while riding his horse.

alvarino is given the right to set the next question or puzzle and a point. For you Ranko, a bonus point, i guess should be awarded to you. Well done!
