I'll bite. Why is "3" the wrong answer?

  Because a complete rendering of the page includes fetching /favicon.ico.

    On the other hand you only need 2 if you use css image sprites.

    If there even is a favicon... and if a .ico file is considered an "image".

      If there is no favicon... There'll still be a request, it'll just 404. Every modern browser I know of automatically tries to fetch favicon.ico.

        Good point. I suppose it's presumably async with respect to the render anyway. It looks even more nuanced on pages that have an iframe [1] (though presumably that's not the case here). [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/a/13416784/149428 http://stackoverflow.com/a/13416784/149428
