rose of tralee part deux

well it turns out the mayo rose won

http://www.rte.ie/rose05/mayo.html

her name is Aoibhionn Ní Shuilleabhain (kinda pronounced aveeen knee sewlivawn)

the most interesting thing i've notived is that two of the contestants have degrees in theoretical physics, including the winner.
now i have some knowledge of this field having studied physics and i know that the numbers of people studying physics in ireland are probably about 2000. of those i'd say about 500 are women. so the odds of 2 of those ladies being the final of the rose of tralee is pretty low.

weird isn't it.
