Okay, I'm no mathematician, but I am a bored Olympic viewer. So, today Australia is fourth on the medal tally, which got me wondering how amazing this achievement is considering our population. So, out popped Excel and I formulated some numbers.... I know it's pretty rough, but it was my 5 minute shot at it. For the second table, the population is based on 43% of the population between the ages of 15-40 which I think is a fair representation of "Olympic-aged" participants.
| Medal Tally Date | 19-Aug-08 | ||
| Country | Population | GMs | Total Medals |
| Australia | 20,434,176 | 11 | 33 |
| Russia | 141,377,752 | 8 | 36 |
| Germany | 82,400,996 | 9 | 23 |
| USA | 304,873,828 | 22 | 72 |
| China | 1,321,851,888 | 39 | 67 |
| If Australia had the population of "X" they would have the following medal tally | |||
| Country (X) | Population 15-40 | Australian GMs | Total Medals by Australia |
| USA | 128,656,755 | 69 | 208 |
| China | 654,316,685 | 352 | 1057 |
| Result | |||
| Australia OWNS! | |||

Hey Loco,
Love your stats-but I really couldn't see the entire stats as your blog cut short... :-(
