Bosnie-Herzégovine... douze points!
An article in this week's New Scientist reports on an analysis of historical voting results in the Eurovision Song Contest.
According to Derek Gatherer's research, and perhaps not too surprisingly for anyone who has sat through the televised event, blocs of nations voting for each other's entries produce clear patterns of winners and losers.
For the record, the New Scientist article says Derek's prediction for the winner of this year's contest in Athens on May 18 & 20 is Bosnia and Herzegovina. The lyrics of their entry, called Layla and sung by the curiously-named Hari Mata Hari, can be read here in both Bosnian and English.
