A whole tone scale contains exactly three, while
a major scale contains
only one, and the
pentatonic scale contains none.
<<<<<>>>>>
Once considered "the
Devil in music," this
interval, such as C to (*) F sharp, or F to B, is
sometimes called an augmented fourth or a diminished fifth.
For 10
points--name this musical interval, named
for the fact that it contains
three whole
steps.

Dudes,
This is a REAL music theory tossup. I was happy to see
this come up. Just because you haven't heard it in the
canon frequently doesn't mean that the topic sucks
[I'll leave others to explain that
better].
