This is an absolutely classic example of algorithmic felicity. Feast your eyes on this page which the BBC was serving me up about ten minutes ago. I wonder if the new Bank of England governor will take any notice of the mathematically-generated advice thus proffered.
Oh, and just a final thought before we wrap up this post this afternoon: that “unknown fifth candidate” the BBC so half-heartedly mentions? I do believe this so happens to be a woman.
At the risk of saying something libellous, I will limit myself to a diplomatic “no comment”.

Speedy update to this post: in the event, even the unknown fifth candidate wasn’t a woman …
