Thanks for all the thoughts on my little math problem. (And, yes, I knew that 85 was a good an answer as 80; in this case I decided to use "distance to the middle of the range" as a tie-breaker.)
As some of you might have guessed from the number 2,711, the diagram that I was writing a script to generate is the current status of the Dafcast database: each square is one page, marked green for translated and orange for "in progress". White boundaries group pages into tractates.
It's actually a quite effective visualization. And once we have some history, it will be interesting to animate it. (We'll also have some additional states soon, like "edited", "scripted", "recorded", and "released".)
