Default OT Olympics

I heard that 4 Billion people are going to watch the Olympics, there's only
6 B people on the earth. It's starting 6:35 Pm in the UK.

Many countries count their total population as their TV audience - and
then add a bit!
But that might explain why the Greeks are finding it hard to sell
tickets.

Lol,

They didn't sell many tickets because most of the world didn't believe they
would have finished building before the Olympics started.

I know I never, but they have and done a good job as well.

I noticed that in the opening ceremony they even paid homage to the
intellectual contributions of the ancient Greek mathematicians.

It was a tribute to knowledge, rare to be seen on the field of jocks!
