Having been designated -by Geoffrey's message about
the wotsit list - Official Statistician of the 5 typical birds question, I will
issue an interim and non-binding report on the matter. (See how I have
picked up the "agreed language" of the UN: hopefully it will all drop when we
leave Turtle Bay.)
Folk thinking about this question should note that
there have been some declared positions and some reserved positions. Also
some people suggested options which, with the benefit of offline advice, have
been resolved into firm positions.
Taking all of this into consideration there are 4
outstanding candidate species for passing on to the Philm Phreak in
Phrance. However the 5th candidate is proving difficult to distinguish
since there are 7 species with the same score. While I have an algorithm
to split the tie I'd prefer to rely on a popular vote so a few more submissions
would be welcome.
It might be noted that the leading tipster at the
moment (with a score of 4.14) is a Phemale so more input from that segment of
the membership will be particularly welcome!
