Better idea. You do the hand count, leave me out of it. It will never work.
You want an experiment? We can set one up. this is not counting slips of
paper, this is counting blotches on hundreds of thousands of pieces of
paper. I bet you that you can't do it. You will come up with different
totals every time. When you get close to the end and see that it isn't going
to work out, you will lie to yourself and others about the upcoming total.

Supervise all you want. It can't be done.
Oh yeah, its against the law too.
