I remember some sort of calculation regarding a story of a girl who slept with something like 16 guys 3 times each etc... The final answer to the question was 35007.

OK, this is lame, but here's how I thought of it. I was trying to figure out what the "1776" means in SummitCo 1776 and was wondering if it was something upside down.

Still don't know what it means. My other guess was the altitude of his house in meters, but that would only be 5,800 feet which seems a little low for Summit County.

Didn't something of relevance happen in the year 1776?

[bad_roo]

I think an asteroid wiped the dinosaurs out or something.

Yeah, I guess there's the Declaration of Independence. Maybe Summit's a huge American history fanatic.
