Not too dissimilar to the approach I took. A lot of guesswork applies to 
these types of things, as you're really using non-matching data as your 
baseline in the first place (unless you're making a Olympics RPG). The
only 
workable goal IMO is a more educated guess as any real match to reality is

impossible.
