Halloween usually means candy. Less commonly, Halloween means making geeky graphs on the distribution of candy you give out to Trick-or-Treaters.
This is the first Halloween at my new house, so we didn’t know what to expect. So, why not graph out everything?
The Stats
- 419 Treats, 379 Treats taken by Trick-or-Treaters
- 189 Trick-or-Treaters
- 2 Hours of Trick-or-Treating
- 2.01 Treats taken per Trick-or-Treater
Total Candy
Yes, I counted all the candy. Geekier still, I graphed the starting percentages and ending percentages.
What does it all mean? Are sugary candies less popular in my neighborhood than straight-up chocolate?
