>!Grey turtles have a much lower weight than most 3.9->7.9 Greyish green turtles have a lower weight then the green ones, though the ranges overlap. Lowest 13 highest 42.9 There is a big spike in the number of green turtles with a weight of 20.4 Suggests we are dealing with multiple distinct species.
The spike in green turtles with a weight of 20.4 all have 6 shell segments. No green turtle with 6 shell segments has a weight other than 20.4. Therefore Harold has a weight of 20.4
All gray turtles have fangs, and no other coloured turtles do. Means we can ignore this as any effect will be entirely contained in the colour.
There appears to be a slight increase in weight with the number of wrinkles, scars, shell segments, and miscellaneous abnormalities, though the rate of increase depends on shell colour, and to a lesser extent on nostril size.
Fitting a linear model explains just under 80 percent of the variation for grey turtles, and a little over 50 percent for the rest. There is no obvious pattern to the deviations, and there is clearly a lot of randomness as a lot of identical turtles have widely differing weights.
My best estimate for the weights of the turtles based on the linear model is as follows: Abigail 20.0 Bertrand 17.3 Chartreuse 22.8 Dontanien 19.2 Espera 16.5 Flint 6.8 Gunther 25.5 Harold 20.4 Irene 21.7 Jacqueline 18.6
If I wanted to maximise my income from the constitutional despot I should bump up the estimates a bit, however I don’t need the money, and frankly my reputation as an honest scholar is worth more than a few gp. And who knows if enough people ignore perverse incentives like this he may stop offering them and become a less wrong constitutional despot? I can dream at least. As for the unflattering portrait, you can always judge someone by the quality of the pepole you have offended. Coming from him that is going to be seen as a compliment by the people that I care about, not an insult. So I will just give him my best estimates and move on.
