They're always something I particularly look forward to (and would miss if missing). <br />I wonder, though, if there are couple of other metrics you might consider in reporting the socio-economic benefits of our lead-ing edge activity. One is the economic benefit of all the self-administered therapy this activity delivers: I imagine that counsellors, psychotherapists and mental health professionals can all take a few weeks off whilst we are hunched over our painting desks. Secondly, the economic savings of not having us out on the streets - you know who you are - waving empty bottles and ragged underwear to the night skies. The policing bill alone would surely be staggering!<br />Re StuartL's comment: it's certainly true in my case that retirement is a major factor in my output. When I was in f/t work, I'd probably only manage half a dozen figures a week. Does this mean that there'll be handicapping in future? Am I going to have to paint with one hand tied behind my back, or only using size 20 brushes?NoelRWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786294155418759170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-5410419387515945042020-03-23T00:01:45.811-06:002020-03-23T00:01:45.811-06:00A dazzling array of statistical wizardry!

Seeing the devotion and effort of the challengers represented through the wonder of numbers is a joy I'm sure we all feel.<br /><br />I would be interested to see peoples' scores compared to employment status. I'm guessing that some of the high-scorers are retired or otherwise have a lot of time on their hands. <br /><br />Anyway, for Challenge XI we're going to need more analysis, at least 35% more graphical representation and an increase of 0.7 to the overall level of statology among the challenge populace.
