Some would say it's the magic of a festival - stumbling upon a random stage and accidentally discovering your new favourite band. You could call it following your festival instinct. But what if you ditched all that and did the complete opposite? What if you took arguably the most nerdy thing in the world - statistics - and used it to try to have the best festival experience ever? I'm talking planning. I'm talking hard numbers. I'm talking organised fun. I consulted a stats expert, packed up a giant bar chart, and headed to 2000 Trees in Gloucestershire to find out. And - just a warning - this article is incredibly, incredibly geeky.
The next step is an app. And then app which statistically organises your entire leisure time. Then you're deemed worthless to society and replaced with an app which organises things much better than you and has better friends.
