I weighed in at least twice in the ITt thread, providing links to
various STV resources, including software capable of counting the

I'm not an ITt regular, I went to check on the thread once at the start,
but really this kind of debate should be happening here, not there.
Banson, are you on maemo-community?

floor(sqrt(n)). So 625 would have done it.
