Olympics Report #3
Did you enjoy the Olympics? It`s hard not to get interested when it`s on TV all day [ichinichiju] every day [mainichi] twenty-four seven [shirokujichu].

Anyway, who did better - Australia or Japan? Well, Japan got more medals (38) than Australia (35) - winner: JAPAN!

But Australia got 7 gold & 16 silver, while Japan got 7 gold & only 14 silver, so that`s why Australia was listed 10th, & Japan 11th on the official medal list. Winner: AUSTRALIA!

But Australia sent 410 athletes, Japan only 305, so Australia: 410 / 35 = 1 medal per 11.7 athletes. Japan: 305 / 38 = 1 medal per 8 athletes. Winner: JAPAN!

But Australia`s population [jinkou] is 23 million, Japan`s is 127 million, so Australia: 23M / 35 = 1 medal per 0.66M people. Japan: 127M / 38 = 1 medal per 3.3M people. Winner: AUSTRALIA!

Wow. I haven`t used a calculator for a long time.

You are great such a calculator. I don't mind which country is a winner. It is only a world sports event for me. But among the countrys mind a number of medals. It is a little sad, in my opinion. Anyway, every athlete was great!! Because they took part in the Olympic Games. from michiko
