<p>Missypie - You don’t know the half of it. </p>
<p>I’ve been obsessed with statistics and logic puzzles since I was very young. When I was 13, my brother and I kept a Top 25 for college basketball for an entire season ('95-96 if it matters), much like the AP does, but we did it ourselves solely based on statistics. I can remember in the pre-season obsessing over the Anthem College Basketball book and creating a formula and then obsessing over “The Sporting News” with him every night throughout the season.</p>
<p>Now, I don’t follow sports anymore, but I do have Excel spreadsheets for absolutely everything. Oh and I do buy scratch-off lottery tickets occasionally, but only after I’ve checked the state’s website to see how many of the winning tickets are left, and plug that into a formula I created that weights odds, prize amounts, etc to make sure my odd are the best they can possibly be (still not very good on most games.)</p>
<p>It’s a ridiculous compulsion, that I have to “rate” everything numerically.</p>
