Answer: 66

Eleven philosophers to ponder whether it is possible to actually do anything

Ten semanticists to debate the various possible meanings of each phrase, word, and syllable

Nine columnists to write about it from radically different viewpoints

Eight letter writers to respond vehemently with opposing points of view

Seven Quibblers who delight in pointing out others' mistakes (what is said is not as important as saying it correctly)

Six conservatives who believe things should stay the way they are

Five liberals who believe that action should be taken immediately to form a committee to study possible action

Four ornery SOBs who disagree on principal with anything anyone else has suggested

Three peacemakers who believe it's more important to work it out without showing any more emotions than necessary to get it done

Two statisticians who maintain that numbers are more important than facts; and

One Pragmatist to ignore the bureaucratic piles of paperwork and replace the bad bulb with a good one.


While reading the above, all the Mensans are keeping count in their heads just to make absolutely sure that it really does add up to 66.
