Project Data

Since we are away this weekend we have made some charts and figures that examine our progress thus far. Entries such as these will come when we are out town and do not have time to cook a breakfast. I should note that when making these calculations I have decided to include the United States even though we have not made a formal blog entry. I do this because I have eaten this breakfast for a large portion of our lives and so it can be considered covered.



Thus far in the project we have eaten breakfast from countries covering 64.6% of the world population. We have done this with only 14 countries. China and India alone account for 37% of the people so such a rapid accumulation is expected. We expect the research to become more difficult as the population dwindles.



While covering nearly 2/3 of the worlds population we have only covered 41% of the total surface area. The largest jump came with the inclusion of Russia which covers 18% of the Earth's surface. Since Russia we have only added 3% of the surface since then.



The last graphic we present here is simply a map with the countries highlighted. We immediately see several things. We clearly have Mongolia and Nepal surrounded. Africa and South America are currently very under represented. We are getting to Egypt soon but it will be a few weeks until we are back to South America.
