It struck me that the question is a good one for a mathematics exploration - especially since the source data is available in lots of locations, including wikipedia and there are media reports and analysis all over the web. Vancouver 2010 is fast approaching too.
I went looking for a repository of good open-ended questions like this and came up with the square root of 0.
Surely, there is some interested wikiphile who is compiling such things. Isn't there?
If you know of some good resources, please let me know.
