How many L stances are there in total in the ITF patterns from Chon-Ji to Choong-moo?

Update:

It was this weeks trivia question at my son's dojang. His instructor says that there are 61...but my son thought for sure there were 63. So I thought I'd get some other opinions. Thanks for the help!

    I know, I know seems that I have so much time to waste but oh well it was a good revision for me anyways :)

    P.S By the way why you need to have that number?

    Back stances? There are 65 (I think) moves that are done in back stance from Chon-ji to Chong-Moo. Good question - separates the genuine from the posers, but at the same time, really evil *grumbles*. You made me get out of my seat and do hyung!!

    Here's a good website with all the diagrams on it (and some teminology): http://www.geocities.com/Pipeline/Ramp/8061/hyungs...
