Of those numbers whose English representation in Capital Block Letters consists only of straight lines, only one number has a value equal to the number of straight line segments required to write it out. What number is this?

(Note: Hyphens '-' are not to be counted as a Line Segment).

(In reply to re: Y : 3 Line Segments by DJ)

I'm sorry, Ravi. I love your puzzles, but in this case DJ is right. Looking at his solution made it obvious that he counted the Y as three segments (and beat me to the punch with the solution!). I don't understand the point to your comment, unless it was to confirm that he had made the right choice.
