FiveThirtyEight provides us with A Statistical Analysis of the Work of Bob Ross.
From the article:
As a consummate teacher, Bob Ross guided fans along as he painted "happy trees, "almighty mountains," and "fluffy clouds" over the course of his 11-year television career on his PBS show, "The Joy of Painting." In total, Ross painted 381 works on the show, relying on a distinct set of elements, scenes and themes, and thereby providing thousands of data points.
Statistical analysis of each episode follows.
So, if you too are stuck dealing with spreadsheet manipulation today. Have a moment of Happy Trees.
I'll call this one Clyde.
