Cessna 172r Rivets

[wmichpilot]

I got a challenge question the other day, I need to find out the number of exterior rivets on a Cessna 172R. I don't have access to a 172 or I'd probably just count them myself, I'm curious if someone knows, or can at least give me a ball park figure.

Thanks

Just email Cessna, they may have the information readily available... you never know. Even if I did have access to that specific airplane I wouldn't count the number of rivets on it. I don't even think I can count that high.
