Counts

Records, totals and how-many questions.

Counts are the strictest questions in the game: small numbers must be exact, so a guess of 37 for an answer of 38 earns almost nothing. They cover records, chapters, awards, members and other quantities, with a note on what is being counted.

Below are 24 questions from this category of the Catamount question bank, with the answer and the note that explains it. Figures are rounded, commonly cited values. Try guessing before you read the answer.
