By combining geometry of spherical tori with combinatorics of dessins d'enfants, we give an exact counting formula for every such n and monodromy group M, and describe the construction of each Lam\'e equation. This is a joint work with You-Cheng Chou and Po-Sheng Wu. The reference is arXiv:2402.16286.
