An interesting facet of the American wire Gage standard is that each...

...time one doubles the number of identical conductors, the gage number changes by 3. So 2 17s = 14g., and 4 17s = 11g. So we're getting close...but...using an AWG resistance chart and the linked parallel-resistors calculator, I calculated that 6 17g. conductors is exactly 9.25 gage.
