Tag Archives: small denominator = medal dominator

Saturday night – small denominator = medal dominator

One of the things I love about living in Vermont (and there are many) is the ‘small denominator’ effect. our state is so small.. and so full of interesting people that the math usually makes us either best r worst at almost everything. You’ll rarely see tiny Vermont hugging the middle of the pack on things like school test scores, gun ownership, or vegetarians per capita.. we’re always a standout…

Today was no exception.. At dinner Gabe told us that Vermont has by far the highest number of total Olympic medals per capita than any other state in the union. Not too shabby.. .. it’s not even that bad if you take out the ‘per capita’ part.. I think we’re 7th…

Go vermont !
