> LINK · 'Mario Meets Pareto' by Antoine Mayerowitz
Y'know when your seven year old nephew baits you into a Mario Kart league and you're baffled at the choice of racers, karts/bikes/trucks, wheels, and gliders?
Each of the options has some weights attached meaning a poor choice will knacker your chances and you'll look on uselessly as your nephew thrashes you. Again.
Using an approach developed by economist Vilfredo Pareto over a century ago, this really impressive website shows your best bet. It's worth a visit just for the design of the page itself. Really well done.
(But all the cool guys still play as Toad.)
