We seem to have covered the minimum number of dwelling circuits quite well.

Let's try a differant exercise.

5000 square foot repair facility for left handed widgets. No hazardous locations, widgets are not self propelled & do not use any type of fuel. Heating is done with a woodburning stove, air conditioning is accomplished by opening the doors. All work is done with hand tools, you know, cordless hammers, the original cordless screwdrivers, etc. In other words, there are no other electrical loads that you know of.

Service is 200 amp, single phase overhead. Customer asked you for a code minimum job, jumped on your price, then complained about your installation (or lack of one) when you were done.

What's the minimum # of circuits for this building?

Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.
