Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
An easy way to start articles these days is to ask Google something and take the piss out of whatever prolix nonsense appears in the AI Overview. For example: “What’s the difference between a chart and a graph?”
Got that? Graphs always have axes except when they don’t, and are for analysing trends and patterns over time except when they’re not. Line graphs and bar graphs are graphs, whereas line charts and bar charts are charts. This is the quality of explanation we get from forcing the sum of human knowledge through an uncomprehending algorithm that does to information what Kraft does to cheese.
Anyway. Below are three charts that are also graphs. Identify what they represent and you might win a T-shirt. The answers are loosely themed, though knowing that probably won’t help much.
Email your entry to alphaville@ft.com with QUIZ in the subject line. Players with all three correct will be entered into a prize draw for an exclusive FTAV charts-quiz-winner T-shirt.
We usually namecheck those who go into the draw so, if publicity’s not your thing, be sure to tell us. The deadline for entries is mid-morning on Monday, London time, and the judge’s decision is final.
