FWIW, I'd like to point out that this is a better 'help me' post than most of the posts I see go by on LW, because Alicorn kept a data series. It's not perfect by any means and there's a lot of data she could collect in practice or theory, but still, she recorded something.

This could be improved by using the data more efficiently as well. Simply looking over the dataset won't reveal patterns like even a simple statistical analysis would.

I'm not trying to criticize - just pointing out more low hanging fruit.
