Does YC publish the number of applicants for past rounds?

I saw the number 600 a few times, not sure which round it was for.

Only 50-60 groups will get invited to the interview. :(

Also I read that 75% of the apps are submitted in the week before the deadline.

Ycomb alumni bloggers say around 20-22. Tough odds!
