Bill, where John had had "had," had had "had had." "Had had" had had the teacher's approval.
veryslightlygeeky used 9 "had" while histrion used 11 "had"... something's wrong.
PS: 's 's 's 's 's 's
Must be the former, because the latter is clearly correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_while_John_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_had_a_better_effect_on_the_teacher
"Bill, where John had "had", had "had had". "Had had" had had the teacher's approval." is grammatically correct and uses, where histron had eleven "had"'s, the nine "had"'s veryslightlygeeky had. Thus, "Bill, where John had "had", had "had had". "Had had" had had the teacher's approval" is the correct solution to veryslightlygeeky's puzzle, where histron's is not.
What about:
Bill, where John had had "had", had "had had". "Had had" had the teacher's approval
Alas, "Bill, where John had had "had", had "had had". "Had had" had the teacher's approval" is not grammatically correct, despite it using nine "had"'s, because it lacks a period.
