This is just a note to potential conference organizers of any sort. At your conference, you probably want to give everyone badges. That's good. When you buy your badges, they'll come in a little Avery box, and the box will be labeled as having 100 inside. So buying two would be plenty, for a conference that has 200 attendees.

Whoopie, I though, as I purchased two boxes (at $50 apiece?!) and set the conference max to 200 people.

Who would have thought to do the math ahead of time? As Andy and I were preparing to print these out for our 200 conference attendees, I happened upon some smaller print, under the part that said "Contains 100 Badges", that stated "6 per page".

I'm not on top of my math skills, so I had to punch that into a calculator. Nope, 100 is not divisible by 6. Hrm. Yeah, it looks like they actually gave us 16 pages of 6. Don't worry, I needed a calculator for that too -- it's 96. So that actually means we're short 8 badges. Well, phooey.

At least 8 people aren't going to show up anyway, right? :-)
