Got the numbers, as insignificant as they may seem. Note that I 2-proportion Z-tested these babies for significance... as you might expect, it is significant, and I compared all stats to the Archimedes division (as they have the most regional winners). These numbers are based on the combined amounts of regional finalists/winners, which may not be entirely accurate. Here are the scant findings:

Archimedes is 83.9% likely to have a significantly greater number of finalists/champs than Curie

Archimedes is 87.7% likely to have a significantly greater number of finalists/champs than Galileo

Archimedes is 95.4% likely to have a significantly greater number of finalists/champs than Newton

Don't know if those numbers mean much to you, but it's all I could come up with right now. If anyone wants me to, I'll do a more anal crunch of numbers and get the sub-categories (i.e. number of champs, 2-timers, etc.)
