I've always thought the Eurovision Song Contest was interesting, not for the boring music, but because there's always one or two countries doing something weird. And then because of the ritual of countries distributing points. It will be interesting to see how these predictions by Martin O’Leary (who describes himself as a "recovering pure mathematician") will stack up against the results. Looks like he got the winner of 2012 right!
