Enumerate!

"Daddy, are there 468* trees in the world, or are there way more than that?"

(Daniel, March 24, 2011)

*I think the estimate was 468, although most of Daniel's numerology hovers around 360 or 361. When he tried to project a duration of time for a task, it will often be something like 36t0 minutes. About a week ago, he asked a question with the same pattern about the population of the earth: the estimate was 678. In both cases, I'm pretty sure there are more, but nobody really knows... I don't know anybody who actually took the time to count them all.
