\n" ); document.write( "Solve mentally (and quickly) with just a little bit of logical reasoning.

\n" ); document.write( "Among the 95% who don't wear one piece of jewelry, half wear two and half wear none. So among that 95%, the average number of pieces of jewelry worn is 1.

\n" ); document.write( "But the other 5% wear one piece of jewelry -- so on average all 600 men wear one piece of jewelry.

\n" ); document.write( "And that of course means the total number of pieces of jewelry is 600.
