A simple bar chart on letter distribution
I was visiting a colleague’s office in another building and I spotted a whiteboard on which the following enigmatic bar chart was drawn. The source data for the analysis was left unspecified.
| Letter Distribution | |||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | |||||||||||||
| 2 | |||||||||||||
| 1 | |||||||||||||
| S | N | O | P | D | G | ||||||||
It looks like there’s an entire Web site devoted to profound charts like this. For example, a graph of beer bottle distribution as a function of the number of bottles taken down and passed around.
When I showed this Web site to one of my friends, he responded, “Oh, great, now I’m not going to get anything done for a week and it’s all your fault.”
Unfortunately, the charts on graphjam appear to have diverged in recent months from the site’s original conception as a reinterpretation of music and popular culture. Now it’s just snarky charts.
