Cat’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

So, I did a thing with the data on Mini 1...

Team	Total 	Diff	%diff		Unique 
3P	60	51	85.00%		1
Belem	99	66	66.67%		2
Burj	66	51	77.27%		2
CNT	58	48	82.76%		1
Eiffel	44	39	88.64%		1
ESB	78	62	79.49%		1
Icono	107	80	74.77%		4
Liz	90	73	81.11%		10
Lotus	92	71	77.17%		3
OooA	46	36	78.26%		0
Pisa	68	54	79.41%		3
Sky	92	66	71.74%		2

Little bit complicated, but is showing the total number of books read for the mini (as of 5 Aug) - "Total countries visited". Then I stripped out, for each team, their duplicates, so it shows the number of different countries visited. The percentage figure then shows the percentage of different countries the team has visited, which gives a fairer comparison of how widely travelled each team is.

Widely read teams (i.e. those who haven't duplicated countries much) include:
Eiffel (88% of their countries have been different)
3P (85%)
CNT (82%)

By contrast, Belem have been encouraging group travel, with 33% of their countries being duplicates. Thought they have still visited 66 different countries, so not really homebodies!

The final figure shows the actual number of countries that only one team has visited. And Team Liz is quite the independent traveller, visiting 10 countries no one else has read for (yet!)

The countries only one team has been to are:

Country			Team
Antigua and Barbuda	Liz
Brazil			Pisa
Burundi			Liz
Cabo Verde		Liz
Costa Rica		Eiffel
Curaçao			Pisa
Denmark			Lotus
Djibouti		Burj
Dominica		Pisa
Equatorial Guinea	Liz
Eritrea			3P
Guinea-Bissau		ESB
Iceland			Burj
Kyrgyzstan		Liz
Latvia			Lotus
Libya			Sky
Liechtenstein		Icono
Malaysia		Icono
Micronesia		Belem
Nicaragua		Icono
Paraguay		Belem
Saint Lucia		Icono
Slovenia		Lotus
Tajikistan		Liz
Timor-Leste		Liz
Togo			Sky
Tonga			Liz
Tunisia			Liz
Tuvalu			CNT
Uzbekistan		Liz

* note: another country has visited Antigua since the underlying data for this was pulled, so we don't have that unique destination anymore

If we move your Rizzio book for the page count of Anders Lindbeck OR Dale Pearson, we could finish one of them off.

For the solid colour cover, we could use my book [bookcover:Checkmate|546..."

Of course!

Finished Bad Summer People, with sushi eaten

Mid level I think

I've got a sushi eating book!

Only knew because one of the other teams had used it (and it's a team with a Mod, so we are pretty safe!)

finished a hard country, and found one that will work for eating sausage :)

for a bit of context: Team Belem asked for a spin, and two of the captains did so independently, both resulting in Mexico - which has never happened before! Even better, Mexico is precisely the destination that Belem wanted, so Judith was very happy with the results of her sacrifices to the Wheel gods!

It's meaning soccer football

Was .just worried about the lighter yellow making it not the 85%

Is that solid cover colour?
It's 118 pages

I think that works. Central European castle rather than classic English/ Welsh (or Japanese version), but castle

Verified, but I'm on phone so can you post and get a new spin please?

I've picked up another hard country book, but do also have Don Quixote to hand for Spain if we are so lucky!
