Or what if somebody makes a presentation at Championship about the Engineering Design Process.... just how many teams have you mentored John?

I would count a team as mentored if my repeated help was directed at that team, and it doesn't matter if it is the same question answered repeatedly.

I'm getting the idea there is not a black/white definition of mentoring but it is more of a continuum. At one end are teams that you definitely mentored, at the other end are teams you definitely have not mentored and somewhere in between is a fuzzy area where it is really hard to categorize if your help constitutes mentoring.
