The Results Are In

Figure 1: Party poll results

Figure 2: Adjusted binary party poll results

At work, I tend to play a game I like to call "Is what I'm doing a transferable skill?" For example: computer skills like navigating the internet (hi perez!) with great efficiency are a transferable skill. Formatting a text box to fit 3 sub-bullets equally spaced vertically, with a note row (font size 7) and source row (font size 7, italicized), is not.
What I would argue is a transferable skill, is the ability to make 3-D pie charts. Nothing can convey the message of, say, the attendance plans of a potential New Years party like a 3-D pie chart. Figure 1 shows the raw data of the poll. Figure 2 converts these answers, based on some probability assumptions, that people will or wont attend. The results are undeniable: some people plan to come while most arent. This may seem discouraging at first until you take the following points into account:
- 43% Yes represents approximately 65 people, which according to the rules*, would be considered a banger
- We didnt want these people anyways


*A "banger" is any group comprising of more than 50 people**
**In the banger calc, girls count for 2 people while guys count as 1.
Note: A banger is just over 4 and 2/12 Scenes, which is a group of 12 people.
