4 or 5, yup, that's about the end of the complete set.

It's like being at a Kindergarten Xmas play,. and EVERY kid has to read the  same verse/line in a row. 

Like watching Little League that has a rule that every kod gets to bat every  game & seeing that little grump who HATES baseball coming up to bat again. . .

That was me. My best move was crowding the plate, but legally, & getting hit  for a walk, & hoping the next kid will hit a home run, so I can take my time  trotting home.  I was much better on offense than defense, though!
