Let's not forget that these numbers are worldwide. How many new doctors and
lawyers do you think are produced by schools every year worldwide? You can
bet that it is more than 1200. This industry is growing faster than the
medical or Law industry. Don't worry guys.

So it's safe to say that about 1200/year are currently being given out
(although the word 'given' hardly applies here). I thought a more realistic
number would be maybe 800/year. I guess with the rapidly decreasing value
of the CNE and MSCE, people had to turn elsewhere. That's why I'm here
after all!

14 new CCIE's over the past 4 days isn't a whole lot - there are 12
locations world-wide where you can take the lab. Let's figure 12 locations
x 4 pods per location x (4 days total/2 days per attempt) = 96 attempts, 82
failures, 14 passes.
That's about a 15% passing rate. Those are pretty rough numbers and an
extra pod thrown in here or there will really skew the results, but you get
the idea.

P.S. Hey...that makes me wonder...I passed 8 months ago. That's about 246
days. There have been 809 new CCIE's since then - that's about 3.3 new
CCIE's per day. (rough numbers again, so take them with a grain of salt -
they've added more pods and lab locations since last May).
