Count me bad, but in my defense the semester busy-ness has begun. We've got three faculty (usually four, but one has been called to the Acting Associate Deah-hood) and at last count we were right at 50 majors, so that would put us about 18:1 (or if you count our regular staffing levels) 13:1. We don't generally need adjuncts, but what with the absent faculty member, we may do that next year.
