Task 2: In 2008 I had a sabbatical in the Netherlands (I have a real soft spot for Holland). However, living there for three months did enable me to notice certain cultural differences between Holland and England. The Dutch are famous for travelling by bike; they do it much more than the English. However, I noticed that many more Dutch people cycle while steering with only one hand. I pointed this out to one of my friends, Birgit Mayer, and she said that I was being a crazy English fool and that Dutch people did not cycle one-handed. Several weeks of me pointing at onehanded cyclists and her pointing at two-handed cyclists ensued. To put it to the test I counted the number of Dutch and English cyclists who ride with one or two hands on the handlebars (Handlebars.dat). Can you work out which one of us is right?
