FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE goooooooooold rings!
…BAH-DUMP-dump-dump…!!
HAHAHA.
Brilliant.
And, to quote Eddie Izzard,
FIVEEEEEEEEEE GOLDEN RINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We only ever learn the fun bit of a song. People come running in from other rooms for that.
*charges in from three houses away*
FIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLD RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS!
i rock
that you do, sir, that you do.
HTF do you hold a silent e?
very enthusiastically. there should be hand gestures.
And hip-shaking.
Best graph ever.
This one is actually cute and un-abstract for once. I approve.
FAIL. A bar chart would be better cause in the song they are represented in numbers not percentages.
No one cares
GREAT JOKE!
You cared by commenting under him.
Hypocracy: FAIL
Some Geek is totally valid to DEFEND this chart!
ho ho ho is a CURMUDGEON!
Ironic HYPOCRISY fail.
hypocrisy… win?
By “him,” don’t you mean “me?”
i was looking to see if anyone else thought to say that. absolutely. this makes NO sense as a pie chart.
But in the song, you sing “Partridge in a Pear Tree” twelve times. You only sing “Drummers Drumming” once! This chart is completely backwards. By the 12th day, you’ve received 12 Partridges in Pear Trees and only one set of Drummers Drumming.
I’m calling this chart a FAIL!
*Correction*
12 Drummers Drumming
22 Pipers Piping
30 Lords-a-Leaping
36 Ladies Dancing
40 Maids-a-Milking
42 Swans-a-Swimming
42 Geese-a-Laying
40 Gold Rings (Gooooollllld RIIIIINNNNGGGGSSSSSS!!)
36 Calling Birds
30 French Hens
22 Turtle Doves
12 Partridges in Pear Trees
EXACTLY. This graph fails!
Agreed – the concept is great (and seasonally appropriate), but the math is a fail.
Oh hey Mr. Scrooge, didn’t know you were a math expert.
He has to be, he has all that damn money.
WIN
This.
A bell graph would be much, much more appropriate. Interesting that the “Twelve Days of Christmas” song would have such a standard graph.
As you math teacher always told you – “MATH IS EVERYWHERE!! MWHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! NOW TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS!”
Or maybe that was just mine.
I thought that was the cops…muahahaha meth is everywhere! Now take off your pants!!!
I wasn’t wearing any.
Exactly
math fail
Yes, I noticed this as well. Awesome idea for a graph, it’s shame that they mucked it up. We’d better do it right next year!
correction win
So with these numbers it can be graphed either as a bar or a pie. Pie would be more interesting, I think.
what? no. not pie.
WIN
Gosh, I thought the GRAPH was just COVERING THE LAST STANZA!
Graph is a WIN!
You Scrooges need to lighten up!
Those poor first eleven stanzas… *sobs* what did they ever do to hurt you?
well, those freakin’ geese like to bite…
Maybe it’s secretly got nothing to do with the popular christmas song, and you’re all epoch fail?
The math is actually correct. It expresses each as a portion of the total number of gifts (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12=big total)
Only if this were a graph of the last stanza. If there all the days of Christmas were counter, the numbers would be as in crispybishop’s post above.
He was talking about the gifts in the song, not the number of times they are sung about, so yes, you’re right, and so is s/he
YOU ARE MOM?
Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with this graph. It doesn’t say how much each sector represents, just the ratio of presents to each other. So the partridges section could easily represent 12 partidges in pear trees, and so on. Definite win =D
Nope, because the partridge sector should equal the drummers sector, since there were 12 of those too…
Ohhhh yes. Oopsies! You raise a good point.
(That’s what she said)
I have a little dreidel…
…i made it out of clay…
… and it’s got a picture of Santa on it.
(I play with it all day)
happy two days ago, everybody.
Numbers don’t matter for this one, it is cute!
It’s good, but I would’ve found it funnier if the creator had also added a category for “socks” (or some other common Christmas gift that’s not featured in the song).
I tend to go for non sequitur humour…
I gotta say the math thing kept me from laughing, if there had been a ’socks’ category or ‘power ties’ then the math wouldn’t have mattered.
It’s a funny concept but if you’re gonna base a joke on the song then get it right.
The graph is titled “Christmas Gift Breakdown”, referring to the twelfth day of Christmas (or Christmas proper, as sung in the last stanza,) it’s not called “12-days of Christmas Gift Totals Breakdown” Yeah, that would have made a hilarious graph.
Dissecting humor is like dissecting a frog, once you start it’s already dead.
But you can still get the juicy stuff.
Actually not “Christmas proper”. The twelve days of Christmas begin with Christmas Day . . . the twelfth day is Epiphany, i.e., January 6th.
True, that.
did anyone (besides me immediatley break into song when seeing this chart)
Looks good to me….but then again, I suck at math!
FYI: Partrige = Partridge
Technically, this isn’t quite right – See, the same gifts are given every time. So you end up with 1×12 partridges, 2×11 turtle doves, 3×10 french hens, etc….
Ah, wait!
This is funny!
Ha!
Haha!
You’ve made me so happy!
Thank you so much!
Umm… Technically the section for the two turtle doves should be the biggest and the section for the partridge in the pear tree should be the same size as the drummers drumming; however, this graph is fairly clever and original so I will rate it as such.
Lol what Karen said, I didn’t finish doing my math.
Partridges in Pear Trees: 12
Turtle Doves: 22
