Hey all! I was bored yesterday, so decided to make a table to calculate our similarities for Eurovision 2016 (yes, engineers are dangerous when bored!). It's based on the same principle as used in WV for similarities (and possibly in other places too!) and I used the numbers from last week's ranking game results. If there's anyone who wishes to post their top ten in here, I can easily add it to the table. I'll post the table on Friday evening some time.

*EDITED* If you wish to include your home country, please do! :D

In case you're wondering if you're already included, the people I already have are below in the spoiler. If you wish to update your rankings, again (such as, for example, to include your home country!), post below!



Then you can find your best Eurovision match (as well as your worst!) and, err, admittedly that's about it... xshifty

[MENTION=14505]Lupus[/MENTION] Great idea, I actually did have it in my mind as well. However, we definitely should be allowed to vote for our home country here. My home country seems to be my absolute favorite this year and if I wouldn't be able to vote for it, it would lead to wrong similarities.

Btw, I can send you the excel file if you need it.^^

I've got my own, but thanks for the offer! If you fancy making Eurovision pots, that would be something beyond my ability! :)

As for home countries, I've edited the first post; hopefully to your satisfaction! :D

That would be great! I'll hardly have any free time the next three weeks but I can definitely do it after that. :D xheat

To be honest I had the same idea a while ago but I refrained from doing it due to the big effort it would require

Fine that somebody else take charge :D

This is my ranking:

:12: :hr:
:10: :pl:
:8: :nl:
:7: :ro:
:6: :is:
:5: :hu:
:4: :fr:
:3: :ee: (I totally underrated it before)
:2: :ge:
:1: :de:

My ranking is pretty shaky.... the order of my Top 5 is changing like every day xcry but this is my most accurate attempt right now, that's what my heart tells me atm so you should use it for similarity statistics xup

I'm "liking" posts once I've added them to the table. :)

I can also provide your average similarity as well as your new ESC "partner". Currently the highest similarity I have found is 85% and there are a fair few 0s...

I don't know how my last Top 10 looked alike, but my current one should be counted

Ooh, this seems interesting and fun. It's tough to decide on a Top 10 though - so this is mostly an arbitrary order... however, I'm curious to see what the result is :)

12 | Estonia
10 | Serbia
08 | Latvia
07 | Croatia
06 | Armenia
05 | Iceland
04 | France
03 | Hungary
02 | Germany
01 | Israel
