Seemingly impossible

Hans Rosling is a Swedish statistician.  We don't expect to be hugely entertained by a Swedish statistician!  But you will believe after watching this.

You saw his work earlier if you accessed www.gapminder.org.  You saw a beautiful chart of the nations developing over the years in longevity and wealth.

In this video, he does a talk called "The Seemingly Impossible is Possible" in which he includes such original concepts as "Grandma-verified statistics."

He makes a good point about the progress of Africa over just fifty years.
