Just for recreational curiosity. Data fetched from BigMonkMap and PerlMonks, as of 7/16/2003. Only monks on the Map were included, so it's a self-selected sample, not a good random sampling. Not sure if the statistics already available somewhere but here they are anyway.

• Region A: longitude180W - 30W, i.e. Americas, etc.
• Region B: longitude 30W - 60E, i.e. Europe, Africa, Middle East, etc.
• Region C: longitude 60E - 180E, i.e. Asia, Oceania, etc.

Region	Head count
A	361
B	172
C	20

You should be glad you don't miss out anything no matter where you live...

Region	Median XP
A	1130
B	1065
C	1185

... you still get the same mature experienced monks (mature for programmers, that is, many of whom would probably have exhausted to death by 40).

Region	Median Age
A	29
B	29
C	27

Just for the fun of it. (Region C has too small a sample size.)
