Re: CCIE numbers?

yea, i've noticed that the numbers seem to be growing exponentially too jay
lol. considering there's only 9 places to take the exam worldwide (and 2
mobile labs i think), and you figure 10 or so each day in each location,
that would mean that almost half of the candidates would have to be passing
per day. i don't think that is the case. of course i could be wrong about
the number of attempts per day. anyone else have any other numbers that
factor into this equation??
