Hmm, I bet this is a trick question. Either they have, say, 20 employees who do everything out of one room in Paris, or they have 2000 if you include boutique salespeople, marketing reps, manufactures, etc. I will say...5000. I did not look this up. It's just my "how many jellybeans in the jar?" guess. Are overbidders automatically disqualified, like on "Price is Right?"
Watch out, Matt -- I have seen many a "Price is Right" episode, and I know what I'm doing.
5001.
Over/under, both are good. So, Laura, if you want to re-guess, go for it!
Okay...
Go big or go home! 10,000!
!!!
Inder the Clever sez Matt's "under" is still too high. I claim every number BELOW 5000!!
This prize better RULE, after all I've put into this contest.

Oooh, so much fun. Lacoste has been around for a while. Rhanda (my colleague) says that they are very popular in the Middle East. She's Egyptian so she should know.
Rhanda "wisdom of the sphinx" says 10,001. (She wants in and is real, not a fiction of my imagination)
Morwenna - 3,507
After hearing about this quiz I had to chime in. I'd guess 2001 (and not the space odyssey for fun, but i don;t think that would make sense. Maybe they add one a year, and this year have 2008 people.....
My guess, to pick a number, is 3322 people, and one dwarf.
Wait a minute!!! Who says no googling? Budding MBA's would never agree to such a rule. Knowledge is power! Is this a trick question to see who rejects the "rule of ignorance"?
i am going to say 16,428 - the suspense is killing me!
Are you trying to subtly tell us something Ian? Is Lacoste really a front for an evil mastermind who is trying to take over the world? Do they have ten meeelion employees? Is this a call for worldwide action?! Would be a shame since that little alligator is a nice logo.
Evil mastermind theory aside: 7654 is my most carefully composed decision (mostly because I like the way the numbers look in a row).
And wait - this is not Cameron - it's Margot! Things have been all switched up on my computer settings since he was using it the other day.
