It seems that my colleagues weren't a million miles off with their medal predictions.... Based on a statistical analysis of previous medal tallies and home advatage they predicted 56 medals in total and 27 golds, we got 65 and 29 golds. http://www.shu.ac.uk/news/release.html?ID=1075 http://www.guardian.co.uk/olympics-2012/results-medals-schedule?widget=medals
Your colleagues? Do you work at SHU? If so we may know quite a few of the same people. I know at least 3 people in that dept, plus a few in the same faculty.
