DER SCHATZENSCHNURRBARTTAG: December 2011

DIE SCHATZENSCHNURRBARTTAG has passed!

DIE SCHATZENSCHNURRBARTTAGZAHL has been calculated!

I have noticed a lot of mustaches around campus in the wild, “free-range” mustaches if you will, which were not successfully bagged and tagged and passed on to me photographically, to be part of the official total (*cough* Joe Mink). But below you can enjoy the photos of those we caught and leave comments!

I followed the following rules to determine the official SCHATZENSCHNURRBARTTAGZAHL:

1. In the spirit of inclusiveness for which New College is famous, I counted four mustachioed faces constructed from origami.

2. While many have claimed that Agne Milukaite appeared in two photos in a blatant attempt to be double-counted, and close study of the photos in question do appear to reveal very similar looking woman in each, because she is wearing a disguise (mustache) it proved impossible to know one way or another, so I counted both.

3. I thought Professor Edidin shaving his beard was so awesome that I counted it as two mustaches.

Resulting in the final number:

73 mustaches!

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Note: I am continuing to post photos as they come in, although they do not count for the final number.
