    *Got it Tim. Using the talent spreadsheet has two advantages:
    * It's fun (isn't it Tim?). You get your unicycling talent assessed
    for free!
    * It encourages you to supply data in an unambiguous form which is
    easiest for me.*

    Probably only fun if your score comes out above average :-)

    I went from being 13% above average to 30% above average by reducing my
    instruction score from 0.2 (on a scale of 0-1) to 0. I considered 0.2 to
    be reasonable for reading a few articles on the web but was intrigued as
    to how much effect it would have...

    Good instruction has a large effect indeed. It turns out that people
    who have proper instruction need only 60% of the learning time
    compared to people who learn all on their own without any instruction
    (corrected for all other variables). If you have to figure out
    yourself what or how to practice, it matters a lot!
