How much do 4 cost, compared to fewer?

How many would you set up for them?

This says 5: http://twiki.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/SelectingOffsiteNTPServers#Section_5.3.4.  The 
previous section says at least 4.

It's a wiki so you can update it.

How you get the home/office user to sync all their clocks sensibly (never mind how they get the time 
in the first place) is a better discussion IMO.
