Hey everyone. As you are probably all aware, we have annual PE challenges to encourage members, inspire new PE'ers, but also to conduct some formal research on PE and gains. 2014 was a rollercoaster on a year on the forum and for the annual challenge also, and our number crunching (thanks popol!) has enabled us to have a greater insight into possible gains, differences between girth and length gains, numbers of people who drop out, numbers who don't gain at all, and some of the top gainers too. If you have not read these threads so far, they might also be useful for you to understand different types of gains that could be expected and so forth:

Also, here are links to the very first challenge in 2013 and the challenge last year where the below stats are taken from:
2013 Challenge
2014 Challenge
Furthermore, if you would like to participate in this year's challenge or see the list, here is the thread:
2015 Challenge
So without further ado, have a look at this beautiful table that popol constructed for us and we hope that you enjoy the hours we put into the number crunching. Popol and Mebs
