131. There was recently an article in New Scientist that described research on this.

The results were that, yes, some people can learn to multitask, but only a very, very small percentage of the population. And the vast majority (over 90%) of the rest of us are physically incapable of doing it. What gets me is that everyone I know who talks on the phone while driving claims that they are in that special elite group.
