to Learn about the basics of the population, Many countries are about every ten years, the spends a lot of manpower and resources on the census. The census is vital to a country. But a 21-year-old Swedish college student recently spent a year surveying the middle-earth described in Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings series (Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and the drill of the elves).

The young man's name is Emil Johansson, a student in the Chemical engineering Department of the Swedish Chamot Institute of Technology. He used his spare time to launch a website called the Lotrproject Project this November. The site is an analysis of 923 characters in Tolkien's novels.

By Emil Johansson, we know that the life expectancy of The Hobbit is 96.24 years, and that Bilbo Baggins lived to 131 years old, making him the most long-lived hobbit outside of Sméagol (or Gollum), and a nephew of Bilbo Baggins, Russell Baggins, who lived only 55 years. , the shortest longevity in The Hobbit.

And can you imagine, Middle-earth, the proportion of women in the total population of only 20% less than the most handsome dwarf, may also only through the "non-interference" to find a love object.

In essence, Lotrproject is actually a data visualization project. It describes a large and complex genealogy in Tolkien's novels, showing vividly through graphs, maps, timelines, and simple textual explanations.
