Oh, and the 2006 picspam tally? Six thousand, six hundred and seventy. That almost got scary for a minute. And it's about twice what I expected. (And there's still the possibility that I counted wrong; if anyone with even less of a life than me wants to go back and do their own count, hey, be my guest.)
begstodiffer was
the closest, only 1530 over -- if you're going by
Price is Right rules,
aardy1 was closest without going over at 2574 and gets extra props for going the whole power-of-two route.
missmiah gets a special award for her guess of 666 -- thematically apropos and almost a perfect order of magnitude off.
Still, glad that's behind us. Math is hard.
