Previously from Corsair’s Publishing and their Creative Analytics online magazine, we brought you our first and second 42:

These entertaining and thought-provoking articles on analytics caught the attention of tens of thousands of readers and followers. It has been nearly nine months since 42 more. So here are Another 42 analogies drawn from pop culture and other inspirations. We hope they provide you a fast, easy, and enjoyable format to learn more about the field of analytics. Just click on any of the links below that you find interesting.

01. Let’s kick this off with an 80’s comedy starring Tom Hanks

Note — we have featured Tom before.

02. We have a thing for Super Heroes…

03. And Music…

04. Call it a Blindspot?

It was our second take on them, too.

05. We also like Starwars

06. We had a Super Bowl party — as only analysts could…

07. And even made the most of some less than successful television

08. We learned from Comic Book Heroes

Greg Anderson also contributed articles featuring the Phantom, the Question, the Green Lantern, Batgirl, and The Hulk

09. Villains

He also gave us Brainiac and The Riddler.

10. and an Infinite Universe

For all his Comic Book Lessons — go here.

11. We played a drinking game or two…

12–14. We did another year of BI Madness

Although the results turned out the same… so we came up with some car analogies.

15–17. And continued our Superhero Lessons

Did I mention how much we like Superheroes?

18. We never say die

19. But we don’t always give a f&%^

20. Sometimes we get eccentric

21. And satirically cultured

22. Sometimes we are crazy

23. Maybe a little childish too

24. We love secret agents

25. and Strangelove, too

26–28. We entered the Matrix

29. And found a battle anthem

30. Did we mention our love of Star Wars?

31. We decided to play a game

32. And stopped compensating

33. We took a three hour tour

34. And discovered Mad Genius

This wasn’t our first take on Avatar either…

35. We looked into the Future

36. Even the less funny kind

37. But never fear

38. We stayed focused on the mission

39. We really like secret agents

40. Even the revolutionary war kind

41. We threw in a little Tolkien

42. And saved our final spot for Douglas Adams

Greg Anderson gave us plenty more.

So now, Another Forty-two is complete. This third addition is not going to solve the ultimate question any more than the rest of the trilogy. But, much like Douglas Adams, we are trying to educate, to entertain, and to engage. If you are interested in more from Corsair’s Publishing and our contributors, click on the links below.
