    I live on the org, feeding off of what few thanks are tossed at my posts. It is up to you to make sure I don't starve.

    America looks to have this one wrapped up by any measure.
    Machine? Projector? Gear?

    Projection.

    This was the way with some men. They sealed themselves in, bricked their ears and their mouths, and spent their remaining days speaking only with their eyes—until these too became inscrutable. Many, you could wager, held chaos in their hearts, shrill and juvenile. But since ignorance is immovable, they seem immovable, imperturbable. Such is the power of silence.

    Winning in amount of medals, and in each individual medal tally as well.

    Any measure? I'll take that bet.

    Per capita

    Tunisia 1 each type... 10 million people so that would be ~ 30 gold, silver and bronze scaling up to 300 million people
    Denmark 2 Golds, 6 million people so that would be 100 gold medals at 300 million people. Looks like mileage isn't so hot now.
    Australia 7 gold, 22 million people... ~95 gold at 300 million people

    New Zealand 5 gold, 4.4 million people ... ~ 330 gold at 300 million people. And as usual they did most of theirs sitting down.

    And the Germans just had to ruin it all. You got to love disliking the Germans for always getting the better of us, no matter what we do or whatever we don't do we won't beat the Germans. They know that and are far too smugg about it. I still secretly really like them but geez
