Chapter 262: Data entry, trick others into doing it! (10,000 reward plus 1 update)
Gretel only turned through a few pages and knew that this statistical work was far from being completed by him alone. Even if Aurora was added, it was almost as if there was no addition...
On January 1, the death toll was 42.
On February 8, the death toll was 53.
On March 15, the death toll was 47.
…On July 6, the death toll was 59.
As a result of rough sampling, the number of daily deaths fluctuates between 40 and 60, which means that the annual number of deaths fluctuates between 14,000 and 20,000. If the statistical scope is expanded to 20 years, he will have to record at least 28
Ten thousand people, data of up to 400,000 people.
If each person enters seven values: year, month, gender, age range, income range, residence range, and cause of death, a total of 1.4 million to 2 million values must be processed...
If Grete was a statistician or social scientist, he would probably work slowly and spend a year, two years or even more to sort out these data. But he doesn’t have as long as one or two years. From now on, it will be December.
In the middle of the year, there was only a little more than half a month until the hearing was requested.
As for the demographic work, Grete gave himself a time limit of 5 days.
Grete thought for a moment and decided to start from the basic work. He rolled up his sleeves and made a form by himself:
For each death information, the gender is male or female, the age range is 0-6 years old, and every 10 years old is an interval for those over 6 years old;
Income is divided into four ranges: low-income, middle-low, middle-high, and rich;
The residential areas are divided into four areas: slum area, small craftsman area, middle-class area and rich area;
There are many causes of death, including plague, acute disease, chronic disease, accident, suicide, dystocia and other major categories. Each major category is divided into several minor categories...
In the dark database, Gretel was sweating while doing the forms. After finishing, he entered the information by himself and timed himself. After entering one page, he calculated that he could only enter the information of 6 people per minute on average.
In other words, if he works diligently, makes no mistakes, and maintains concentration for 8 hours a day, he will probably...
It will take about 100 to 140 days to complete the entry?
...very good, that is to say, if he wants to finish the liver within five days, he needs 20 to 28 tabulators...That's it, not counting the manpower needed for review, supervision, and statistics...
So where can he hire, no, prostitute a group of people for free?
Gretel held his chin up and thought for a moment. He spread out a new piece of parchment, pulled out the [Endless Ink Pen], and began to write:
"Dear Master Edgar..."
Well, we'll gather a group from the Black Crow Swamp, and another group from the Order of the God of Nature. Anyway, this job is not difficult. As long as you can read, you can draw the right characters on the table, and you can count. Oh, yes, there are also more
Be patient and conscientious. Anyone who can become a preparatory spell caster should not lack this quality?
Aurora went to the Necromancy School to run errands, and Bernard went to Oak Ridge to run errands. That afternoon, the two returned one after another, bringing replies from the two schools:
Elder Wood said that it is winter, diseases are common among poor people, and the church cannot spare many manpower. Allocating 10 priest apprentices to him, five days of work is already the limit. They will arrive tomorrow and leave after five days.
Not one more person, not one more day!
Over in the Black Crow Swamp, Master Edgar generously expressed his willingness to help him. The 20 newly recruited apprentices this year could be sent over to work for him. It would be no problem. I just asked Grete to remember to take some time.
Teach children anatomy.
"30 people..."
Grete sighed leisurely.
It's still not enough, it's better to have 10 more - 20 would be even better.
His eyes were wandering around Aurora, thinking about whether to go to Archivist Carlisle himself or send Aurora to make another trip and recruit a few people from the Archivist's door. After much deliberation, he still kept it in the space bag.
After flipping through it, he took out a volume of manuscripts.
"Bernard! Come with me! Let's go to the Fleet Barracks!"
As expected, Grete met Bishop Ampton in the military camp. After sitting down and exchanging a few words, Grete made a straightforward request: Ask Bishop Ampton to help introduce the person in charge of the local temple, and lend him ten - preferably 20 -
—Apprentice priest, come and work for him for five days.
"this……"
Bishop Ampton hesitated. As a bishop of the Temple of the God of War, he took a different path from the priests of his generation. After reaching level 5, he could have presided over a parish, even a small temple in the barony.
.However, by mistake, he was sent to cooperate with the Magic Council. From then on, he was thrown into the fleet, sailed in and out of the wind and waves, and slept on the sea.
In the past ten years, the priest's level has been advanced from level 5 to level 7, and the ships he follows have also changed from offshore patrols to ocean-going fleets traveling to and from the New World. However, the relationship with the local temple, in addition to the fleet often going to pray when returning,
, apart from going back to study after advancing, I don’t even have many acquaintances anymore...
He had to borrow someone to show his face, and he also had to lend himself to the Magic Council. Bishop Apton thought to himself that it was really not that big of a deal.
"You're not borrowing from someone empty-handed."
Grete smiled and pushed the copy of the codex over:
"Have a look at this "Battlefield First Aid Manual". Is it useful to the God of War Temple?"
First aid on the battlefield? Bishop Apton was moved. He couldn't wait to grab it and open it, stop bleeding on the battlefield, bandage the battlefield, move the wounded, first aid for burns, first aid for drowning, first aid for snake bites...
Which one is useless? Which one can't save a few or dozens of lives on the battlefield? It's a rare system project that can be used to train priests!
Bishop Apton's eyes became brighter and brighter as he read. Finally, he closed the manuscript and stood up suddenly:
"Don't worry! With this manual, not to mention bringing 20 people over to work for five days, even if we bring the entire temple over to help you work for a month or two, that's no problem!"
At eight o'clock the next morning, Grete stood in the specially vacated conference room of the city hall, facing downwards. Aurora on the left and Bernard on the right, threw two full sacks of blanks to the 50 spellcasters who had assembled on time.
sheet.
"Two people work in groups. Each group is responsible for the record book for a year. One person reads aloud and the other fills out the form.
In addition, ten people were selected - two from the Order of the God of Nature, four from the Black Crow Swamp, and four from the Temple of the God of War. They were responsible for supervision and checking whether the entered data was correct. Supervisors should not supervise people in their own organizations.
The year and month are written at the beginning of each form, and for other items, tick the corresponding boxes——
Do you have any other questions?"
A group of trainee spellcasters, the youngest in their early teens and the oldest close to 20 years old, gathered in three groups and looked at each other. Although the Order of the God of Nature and the Temple of the God of War are not in direct conflict, there is also a competitive relationship. The clergy instinctively hate the smell of death.
, and in the eyes of the necromancers...
If you don't rely on your own strength to analyze the mysteries and embrace the gods, what is that?
The triangle of death, we hate each other.
You must not be found fault with by the God of Nature Priest (War Priest/Necromancer)!
You have to work faster than them!
here you go!
"no problem!"
The three groups of trainee spellcasters shouted in unison.
Grete sat on the podium with satisfaction. Below the podium, there were 20 tables, in groups of two, and they began to get busy:
"Anita, female, 24 years old, tailor. Address: 382 Bronte Street. Cause of death: smallpox."
"Brad, male, 18 years old, sailor. Address unknown. Cause of death: Falling into the water while sailing."
"Julia, female, 22 years old. Address: Fleet Street. Cause of death: ulcer."
One person reads and the other writes. The person reading does not need to be distracted, and the person writing does not need to raise his head. Grete saw with satisfaction that the input efficiency was more than twice as high as when he worked alone.
He secretly praised himself, took a sip of water, took out a magic book and started reading. However, not long after reading, the tense and harmonious atmosphere below began to collapse. The boys and girls were chattering and noisy:
"You filled in the wrong box! 35 years old is in the right box!"
"You missed a line! Go back and read it again!"
"That woman is not a rich person! Erase it and move it two squares to the left!"
"What are you doing? She lives on Fleet Street, how could she not be rich?"
"Are you out of your mind? She lives on Fleet Street, she's sore and dead - she's obviously a flower girl! How could she be a rich person?!"
"Mr. Nordmark, if you don't have an address, which box should you check?"
"Mr. Nordmark—"
"Mage Nordmark?"
Gretel: "...Stop! Everyone stand up, move a table to the left, and move the table on the far left to the far right! Start from the beginning, one reading aloud, one checking, and see how many mistakes there are!"
There was another commotion. Gretel got off the podium and walked back and forth between the tables, occasionally raising his head to take a look. In less than ten minutes, in front of the recorder responsible for checking, there was a large piece of white paper with more than a dozen densely scratched marks.
The word "righteous"...
This error rate is simply unacceptable!
I was wrong. The possibility of errors in manually entering the form is too high, and it cannot be used as a statistical basis...
Senior John Grant, how did you write such a masterpiece as "Natural and Political Observations on Mortality" in 1662 based on decades of death reports in London and purely manual statistics? Let alone statistics.
, just entering the data correctly is so difficult!
Grete barely suppressed his sadness and watched the trainee spellcasters reading, recording, checking, and working hard. They worked from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, took a one-hour lunch break, and worked from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. After dinner, they passed away.
Everyone went back to their homes, and Gretel was alone looking at the record books on the table, frowning.
"Grete, what's the matter?" Aurora Wharton sat down next to him. Grete lamented: "There are too many mistakes... It can't be used like this at all..."
"Then...call a few more people to check more times?...Let them do it slower?"
Gretel just shook his head. After being asked, he put his hands on the back of his head and leaned back:
"It would be great if it could be scanned and entered automatically..."
"This...is not impossible..."
Aurora Wharton suggested carefully. Gretel jumped up suddenly: "How to do it? Which magic can do it?!"
"Well, it's not magic. The Taling sorting papers are automatically scanned and automatically assigned to the destination. I mean, you can ask if you can use the Taling to do this?"
"Great!" Gretel's whole body lit up. He grabbed Aurora and asked repeatedly:
"Who should I apply to? What are the application conditions? - Hey, I wish you had said you could use the Tower Spirit!"
"The Tower of Babel has a special calculation room, and all teachers can apply for it - I can use the teacher's authority -" Aurora was shaken back and forth by him, and her words almost broke. When he came to the last question, he hesitated all of a sudden.
stand up:
"Then, isn't that too expensive to use the tower spirit..."
