2004 PBEM Census - Final Results
33 people filled out the census.
They are involved in a total of 137 two-to-four person games for an average of 4.15 games per person.
They are involved in a total of 173 four-to- eight player games for an average of 5.24 games per person.
That gives an average of 9.39 games per person.
The average for completed games is 1.70.
And I believe the median was 7. There were 16 scores equal to or higher than 7, and 16 equal to or lower. If I remember my stats correctly.

Yup - the census timing was as of August. Things have changed. I know I have more games.

So I did some playing around ...
Average games played (total): 9.4
Std. Deviation in that population: 8.15 (wow!)
If you eliminate anyone with 4 or less games (75% of the population is left), the numbers go to 11.6 and 8.2 ... and if you select for >5 games (which cuts down to 60% total, meaning 15% of you have 5 games the numbers go up again to 13.25 and 8.4 -- the constantly rising standard deviation thanks essentially entirely to Paddy, Beta, Aqua, Chrisius and myself.
Cut anyone with <10 games out and you get 16.9 average and std dev of 9.1 ... but you still have 37% of the population left. Over a third of us are ... crazy.
And finally, anyone with < 15 games out and you get 15% of the population, average of 24.8, and std dev of 9.45 ... Thanks, Paddy, for that stat: if you round off to 25, that means you're the only player above that average out of the five of us.

Guess you can't argue with statistics. What did Disraeli say:
" Lies. Damn Lies. And then there's statistics."
Or something like that.

Actually ... Clemens (as in Samuel Langhorne, aka Mark Twain ) was quoting, not plagiarizing, Disraeli. More than likely disraeli never said it, but Twain attributed it to him nonetheless.

Hmmm- I thought Cream's ablum 'Disraeli Gears' had this quote sampled from a Warner Bros cartoon featuring Foghorn Leghorn. I might have got something mixed up somewhere along the line, though...Originally posted by snoopy369
