Freakonomics of Tokyo Garden Party



Today is the 6th time for Tokyo Garden Party (TGP) to take place
I went to the 3rd one if my memory goes well and it made me skeptical.

There are so many parties going on in Tokyo and what made me interested in TGP was the fact that at least it had a remarkable concept = Beer, Garden, Green and Rooftops which anchored the thing in my brain.

But in fact, these keywords do not correspond to the reality at all, except #Beer.
It is rather:
Garden= at the best, synthetic carpet.
Green=synthetic green carpet or trees?

No, I want to argue here that TGP should have been called YAGJDPR:
Yet Another Gaijin male- Japanese female Dating Party but on Rooftops.

Again, it is not about criticizing the team behind TGP, but their memes.

And I want to prove that mathematically, using data and logics, using the same methods developed by Steven Levitt in his book: Freakonomics


And below is the intended proof.

Among the current 81 confirmed (at the time of 3pm, on its Facebook page) guests there are:
-36 caucasian ♂ (including myself)
-35 japanese ♀
-5 asian or japanese ♂
-the rest is misc.

From the probabilistic view, such a parity in the number of causian ♂ & japanese ♀ is very unlikely, so much so that it cannot happen unless it follows a hidden deterministic rule:

And this rule should be: ♥ TGP is in reality a dating event between gaijin ♂ & jp ♀ ♥.


What do you think about this reasoning?
Any flaws? Please tell me if you discover some.



Post-scriptum (02SEP09):

Just to give you an idea of how almost impossible it is to have a proper conversation related to business in a such a noisy and alcoholic environment. no offense :)
