How many layers does the average onion have?

One non-specific answer is that "It depends how big the leaves are on the plant. I believe there is one leaf for each ring and the bigger the leaf, the bigger the ring will be." From: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_layers_are_in_an_onion If that is true, then the number of leaves becomes critical.
