Hi p_g...
What about only two?
Use the ring finger on 6th string 3rd fret and then use it's pad to mute the 5th string, and use the pinky to play the 3rd fret of the 6th string.

The difference between the 2 finger version, normal 3 finger version and the 4 finger version are:
- The 3 finger version doubles the 3rd of the chord
- The 4 finger version eliminates the doubled third of the chord by doubling the 5th (ring finger on 3rd fret of 2nd string), and it leads to easy transitions to 4 fingered versions of the C9 and F6 by moving fingers 2 & 1 up to the next set of strings.
- The 2 finger version eliminates both the doubled 5th and 3rd, and gives better (easier) access to the standard C chord.
