Can water consumption tell how obsessed people are with the World Cup?

It's a pure waste of time.

There is a taste of putting the cart before the horse.

Afraid of missing out on the national team? Water consumption shows that Tokyo residents in Japan often take advantage of the intermission to go to the toilet.

In the group stage of the 2018 World Cup in Russia on June 19, Japan defeated South American powerhouse Colombia to become the first Asian team to defeat a South American team in the history of the World Cup. Needless to say, the Japanese public paid attention to the first match of the national team, and according to the Tokyo Metropolitan Water Bureau, water consumption in 23 wards of Tokyo skyrocketed during the halftime of the game. The increase or decrease of water consumption is closely related to the start time of the game, and the public is afraid of missing the wonderful moments of the game, so they have "saved" to go to the toilet during halftime.

According to Japan's NHK TV on June 21**, after the start of the match between Japan and Colombia at 9 p.m. local time on June 19, water consumption in Tokyo's 23 wards showed a decreasing trend. At the end of the first half, there was a sudden increase in water consumption, a 24% increase in seven minutes.

According to the analysis of the Water Bureau, this oneAfter the start of the game, citizens waited in front of the TV to cheer for the national team, so the water consumption was reduced. When it comes to halftime for the players, the public also takes a short break to wash their faces or go to the toilet, which causes a sudden increase in water consumption.

According to the Tokyo Water Bureau, this is a common phenomenon during international sports events, and the water bureau will estimate changes in water consumption before the event, and make reasonable adjustments to the water supply and water pressure to ensure that the public can use water.

If the data on the water meter will not be cleared, it is necessary to subtract the data from 15 days ago to obtain the water consumption for 15 days.

In the 1982 World Cup in Spain, Havelange implemented the "expansion" for the first time, and the number of participating teams increased from 16 to 24.

In the 1982 World Cup in Spain, Havelange implemented the "expansion" for the first time, and the number of participating teams increased from 16 to 24. Since 24 is not a geometric progression of 2, the World Cup had to change its rules and try a two-stage round-robin and knockout format. After 8 years of debugging, people are completely accustomed to a "selection method", that is, through 6 groups of single round-robin to produce a team that enters the knockout round, the top two of each group and then compare the points, goal difference and total number of goals, and select the 4 best group third, the number is still in line with the geometric progression of 2, which does not prevent the next catch and fight.

The 1982 World Cup was the first time that 24 teams competed.
