I am too lazy to count the length of orphan chain after 51%attack reorganization.

Can anybody help me to count blocks in this side chain:
https://test.webbtc.com/block/0000000000af7aac1817b82d377fa989407d607dc1953d63827d8adfa39de85b

I want to know how many confirmations are enough to treat the blockchain immutable  Grin

UPDATE:
... or may be side chain starts here?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

6 for the main chain. No idea why test chain would be immutable? There is no significant work done to secure its immutability!
