It’s done!

In case you care!? You can call me Dr. Sascha now/soon!
I just came home from my disputation and therefore almost final step in getting my Ph.D.
Now I just have to hand in the publication as a last step.

Both dissertation and disputation were graded magna cum laude (1.0)!

… puh …
but now it’s too hot to write anything more …

FIFA World Cup 2010

And the winners are:

  1. Katrin
  2. Simon
  3. Ariane

With impressive stats, being sole leader for 62 out of 64 matches and with five point ahead of the second place, Katrin surely deserves the title. Also between the second and the third place is a comfortable margin of four points. Finally third on the podium and with 32 result points the best better in terms of tendencies is Ariane, who also holds the record for most correct tendencies in a row (7).

Congratz to all winner …
The prizes will be handed over soon ;)

Honour & Glory – Eight teams left

FIFA World Cup 2010 (after 54 matches)
FIFA World Cup 2006

Only eight teams left and 54 matches played in the 2010 World Cup, time for another short summary:
Katrin is still far beyond a little strange, though looking at the 2006 World Cup (picture above) it seems that she is performing normal and everybody else just sucks this year!?
The top ten betters had on average 45 points in 2006 while it’s only 39 points this year.
Due to the lower scores and small spread amongst betters in this year’s World Cup, more contestants have a chance to still reach the winners’ podium (maybe leaving the first place aside, for which I dare to go out on a limb and say that only Katrin has good chances).
