While we're on the subject of statistics one thing that really struck me
was that for the horror round there were lots of Spanish entries, and 
for the garden round there are so many French entries, probably a result
of different subjects appealing to different cultures.

I think (I'm going to have to go and add them up now), that there are 
more French entrants than all the others put together in this round.
The Horror round seemed to be the American and Spanish round. 
We here in the UK tend to think of Australia as a desert, but this round
seems to have really captured their imaginations aswell.
