What if 3929 said at a team meeting "We're mentoring 2495!" and only 1 person went to help 2495 -- would that count? What if 5 people went?

Interesting discussion, in my mind with only one possible (and unsatisfying) resolution.

Nah, I don't think this would be a legitimate claim, or at least I would not allow my team, 3929, to include this as part of an award essay. I think one whole team (or most of 1 team) should all want to see another whole team succeed and do better, rather than 1 person from either side.

That's an interesting point though, I've never thought about it in a quantitative way (how many people on each side), I always felt this was something driven more by qualitative evaluation by the mentee.

The best example of true mentorship I've seen is 1114 and 2056's relationship.
