Sam and Sarah saw seven sharks riddle answer

The answer is 1.

The question asks you to count the number of ‘S’ in the sentence, and there is only 1 'S' in the word 'sentence'. So while you may be fixated on counting the letters ‘S’ in the whole riddle, you only needed to focus about finding the ‘S’ in the actual word ‘sentence’.

Other answers: Some people also say that there are 7 'S' in the whole sentence. 

While others also say that they are 2 'S' in the sentence, as the rest of the 'S' are in lower case but the 'S' of Sam and Sarah are in upper case, which was basically what the question asked to count.
