    Thanks but 206 is correct

    Humans are born with about 300 to 350 bones. Many of these bones fuse together between birth and maturity to produce an average adult total of 208 bones. The number of bones in the human body varies according to the counting method used. While some methods consider a given structure to be a single bone with multiple parts, others consider the same structure to be multiple bones.

    Skull 22
    Ears (pair) 6
    Vertebrae 26
    Vertebral ribs 24
    Sternum 3
    Throat 1
    Pectoral girdle 4
    Arms (pair) 60
    Hip bones 2
    Legs (pair) 60
    Total 208

    I stand by my answer - which as it turns out was not really a question you needed an answer for...
