"Based on a crafty combination of medals won, athletes in your team,
and your country's population, I am please to advise that the real
winner of the London Olympics is Australia!"
Using the formula, medals won multiplied by athletes in your team
divided by home count population (MAP), here are the top four:
Australia 632
Great Britain 565
Hungary 268
Russia 250
Team USA scored a measly 175, and China only 23.
