Appending Series with nonunique Indices

The Series bronze and silver, which have been printed in the IPython Shell, represent the 5 countries that won the most bronze and silver Olympic medals respectively between 1896 & 2008. The Indexes of both Series are called Country and the values are the corresponding number of medals won.

If you were to run the command combined = bronze.append(silver), how many rows would combined have? And how many rows would combined.loc['United States'] return? Find out for yourself by running these commands in the IPython Shell.
