Spot the statistics geek

You know you are a geek when the first thought when someone tells you that a friend ended up in a coma after being kicked by a horse and your first thought is "Poisson distribution".

好好啊，谢谢

The Netflix Prize Contest stopped accepting entries on 2009-07-26 18:42:37 UTC.

When there was only four minutes left, Bellkor's Pragmatic Chaos (10.09%) was surpassed by The Ensemble (10.10%) : (

But there is still chance. The final result is based on a Test set, which remains a secret.

yep, I read it yesterday.
I think there is still chance for BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos to win since the final decision is made based upon the SECRET test data set.
The Ensemble has 23ish teams. I think their averaging scheme is based on the quiz data set.
