aint sure if stratified random sampling was a better way do to do it. stratification at best could be at the continent level. more specifically region wise. APIMEA and so on.......   

if members are in agreement to the same and if the statification process is not very tedious the same could be applied to the monthly prize draw as well.

imho this would have equal representation from all the continents. needless to mention the probability of selection would be dictated by the number of members (N) in the stratified unit.  

Sorry but I disagree 100.0%. Why should anybody have more (or less) chance of winning just because he happens to live in a certain place? Totally unfair to everybody.

Indeed...

 

What if I was the only one registered on, say Antartica?

Would I win every time?

No, not Antartica! May I suggest a move to the tiny town of Kifuka in Congo? πŸ‘

very well bayerische is closer to this habitat and you cannot stake claim (taking cues from the earlier post and the incidence of lightning in the congo basin) πŸ™‚ 

jokes apart yes one has to be honest in registering where they exactly belong to.  my methodology was towards addressing equal representation of geographies (read continent) to say the least. by virtue of this you are eliminating the sheer size effect of beoworlders from a particularly geography and spreading it more wider. please dont mistake me this is just a suggestion towards capturing enough variability/experiences.

sorry if i am talking stochastic processes here (fallout of my profession)

cheers

Hi there,

I am pretty new to this site. Just stumbled over this thread. May I ask if there is a specific program you guys follow in Struer?

I get the feeling there will be a few ..... *ahem*.... unfortunate "accidents" amongst the Beoworld fraternity between now and the Struer trip.......
