But, since it's double stitched, we would only count 108.
I remember that from a grade school teacher. I think it was 7th grade, but might have been 8th.
He had a few of us high honors kids who were on the baseball team count them. When we got 108 he told us we had to multiply by 2, to get the correct answer.
52 or 53 years ago, and i still remember it vividly.
