Im a little confused by this one. are we supposed to count the ones that are in the ornaments like on pages 4-5 ? or just the 3. also what about page 6-7. does that count as one?

Okay, there are 182 pages since it starts at 0.... but it seems like we can break it down to 91 sets of 2...
For 6-7, I agree with the 1
For 4-5, I'd say there are lots more than 3 there

I haven't counted yet. I was thinking of counting the words "snowpeople" literally...  |

I think it's all snowpeople including images. If you look through carefully, there are images in the mirror, in paintings hanging up, in photo frames etc... I don't think they're there just to be there. I counted a total of 229. Good luck all!! My eyes got tired and make sure to look w/ the zoom.

I only came up with 227.... on pages 4-5 there are a 39 not just my count but if you look at the writing at the bottom of page 4 it tells you how many snow men are on that page and that gives you a clue of how you are supposed to count... which my inturpertation is every doggone snow man... but I did not count a pair of earrings on page 29 that are snowman shaped as they are merchandise... could be wrong on that...

I asked my dad to count them and he said he found over 700! Just wish there were more guidelines. |

My advice is to read the directions and hints very carefully . You should be counting "abstracty" snowpeople as well as snowpeople shadows. Read the short little snowpeople story and you'll find the hints I've just mentioned and more. I wouldn't fail to add any snowpeople in any form to the final count. Looks like everyone is going to have to use their own best judgement on this one.
