Someday... Remember this... [posted by Troy] Throughout your life countless people who are older than you promised that someday some event will come true. Well, some day all of those somedays will come true. Chad, you're gettin' older. Where's Josh? 10:47:39 PM  permanent link  Reader Comments []  Google It!

Audience Participation: Olympic Medals Here's one for those who like story problems. [posted by Troy] This Olympics the US won the most medals. But, isn't that logical, since we are the richest country in the world? To see who really won, I think that the Medal Totals Per Country should be normalized by each countries Gross National Product (you can get the 2001 GNPs Here: Table 1333, Page 851). This is a rough way to equalize out the wealth factor. This should also be equalized by the total population of the country (table 1322, page 842). Now, I don't expect anyone to actually figure this out for all of the countries in the Olympics, but I'd be curious for the top 5-10 medal winners. Feel free to post your answers. 7:47:38 PM  permanent link  Reader Comments []  Google It!
