Question
Hi, my name is Matthew and I attend St.John Nepomuk School in Racine, WI. In our comuter class, we are learning how to submit questions via the internet. My Question is how many bumps are there on a basketball?

Answer
I wasn't able to find any exact data, but one of my predecesors was once asked the same question, and his answer was exactly 9,342,059 (see http://experts.about.com/q/2551/3139586.htm). I can only hope he was right and didn't say the number off the top of his head :-)

Comment	Thank you for the answer to my question. Magic Johnson is the answer I was hoping for. My husband and father did not believe me when I said it was Johnson. Thanks for making me right!
