A knockdown prophecy

[The Architect Of Fate]

Indeed turns out it's a bit of a debate 

Believe it or not, that is a complicated question. The answer depends upon what you mean by joint. For example:
Growing bones are divided into growth centers. This creates a growth joint where bone is connected to bone known as a metaphysis. If you count this as a joint then the answer depends upon how old the person is.
Some bones come together bone-to-bone, and then fuse later in life. This can be a natural process like with bone growth but occurs late in life. The sutures of the skull are an example. These joints are called synostosis.
A similar process can occur that is pathological. That can create bone spurs and new linkages, joints, among bones.
Some bones are linked together by ligaments, creating a joint known as a syndesmosis. If you count every instance where a ligament spans between two bones, and count every ligament as a separate joining, you would have an enormous number of joints.
Most of the time when we think of joints, we are thinking about the moveable joints known as synovial joints. There are a lot of these, and not all synovial joints are mobile and not all mobile joints are synovial.
In addition, there are a variable number of bones in the body. Sesamoids, small bones inside tendons, are common but variable. The number of linkages between sesamoids and more standard bone, such as the patellofemoral joint, would be impossible to count without a careful examination of the subject involved.
There are many other types of joints in the body that I am not mentioning, and there are even named joints that do not link bone-to-bone. So, again, I have to state that the answer to your question depends upon how you want to define joint. And, once you come up with a definition you like, you will always find someone who disagrees with you
