Fact about Cyprus you did not need to know about ...

Post by Lofos-5 »

Not that I am an aspiring billionaire (an audience which this clip apparently targets)... - but I still watched this Youtube video as I have again too much time at my hands this weekend...

Which facts did you not know about? I liked 9, 14 and 16 best (yes there is a 16th one).

PS - for Dominic I even created another graph from UBS' Open Data for Everyone page - 2006 is the year I plotted, Nicosia did not feature in any other year (this is Fact 12 in the video - although the ranking seems different then the data from the bank that I downloaded...)

What a ghastly voice the presenter has.

More to the point, what is "USB data explorer"? A bit more info might help us to interpret the graph. No. of football stadia? Population per square mile? Meaningless otherwise.

Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) is a Swiss bank that Fact 12 was referring to... - it's about how expensive a city is to live in - with NYC being used as a reference (100). Read about it here if you have nothing better to do ;)

UBS is very good about it - they even let you download the data in an Excel file with historic data in it too - the only year I could find Nicosia featured was 2006 - the Excel file has nice Pivot tables and filters set-up already...

An interesting video, thanks for sharing it. A few things which I didn’t know too!
