The Museum of Statistical Anomalies by ScooterX

October 7th, 2008 9:03 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Find a statistical outlier. Capture it and create a display for it that elucidates its irregularity. Also, name it if necessary.

Work with other players to create the Museum of Statistical Anomalies by combining your displays.

I am I. Irie. task complete.

not sure if this is a proof or theorem. but it follows from the discussion under the task.

>>

what, no teams? (there are no eyes in this team)

interesting that the red outlier in the Frequency Analysis above is me, er rather, is I.

that's amusing.
um.

if so, and following that, task complete. I am the out liar.

statistical outlier - check
a muse um - check
work with another player - check (I thanks Augustus deCorbeau
elucidate irregularity - check (Who could be more irregular than I?)
name - check (the eyes have it)

if you are I, then you've completed this task.

Oh great anomalous one, I do not doubt your credibility as a statistic outlier--at least 5 sigma I'm sure. But you're forgetting about the display aspect of this. It seems like to get full credit you ought to maybe sit on a chair in the middle of the park with an informative and educational sign posted on you so that others can visit the statistically anomalous museum which you have created. Perhaps your sign can simply read "I".

If you happen to live in the Seattle area I'd be happy to volunteer as a docent at your museum and give people tours of the display.

This proof has been flagged by 6 of your fellow players (for the benefit of all, flags are anonymous). As such, it has been automatically disapproved. Most likely, they've posted comments explaining why they're displeased. If you think you may be the victim of a bug, injustice, or a gang of Rubins, hit up the contact page.
