"There are tree mistake in this sentence, or, are there?"

1) "tree" should be "three"

2) "mistake" should be "mistakes"

3) "or, are there?" should be "or are there?"

A conjunction should not be flanked by commas when joining two independent clauses to make one sentence. One should use one comma before the conjunction and then just proceed to the second clause without a second comma.

See, for example: https://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/conjunctions and commas.htm

I selected 4, thinking the asterisk counted as one.

There are three. The first is that instead of "Three" the sentence says "Tree." The second mistake is that the sentence didn't pluralize the "Mistake" into "Mistakes." The third mistake, is that, well, there are only two mistakes! I know this is a riddle for kindergarteners, but it's still fun.
