Eurovision 2016 had a wonderfully tense finale as Ukraine overhauled Australia at the very end on the public vote to take the crown.

The new voting system grabbed a lot of attention, and the maths has now been done and it's turned out that it wasn't just about presentation either.

Controversial non-European runners up Australia finished in second place on a total of 511 points, with Ukraine pipping them on 534.

Australia had been leading the contest since the earliest moments, but was overhauled once the public's vote was taken into account.

The experts at EurovisionWorld have worked out that under the old system Jamala and her song '1944' for Ukraine would have finished with 279 points.

Australia's Dami Im with 'Sound of Silence'  would have finished on top with 320 points.

And Joe and Jake for the UK would have done a little better too. Instead of being slumped in 24th with their 62 points, their old-school 27 points would have been good enough for the dizzy heights of 22nd.

Even without bundling in the public vote there was enough fun and games with the jury voting all by itself.

Poor Danish jury member Hilda Heick misunderstood the ranking system, meaning that her votes should have been completely inverted.

Eurovision jury members are asked to rank all 26 songs in the Grand Final from 1 to 26, with 1 being their favourite and 26 being their least. Heick did the complete opposite.

It meant that Australia didn't get the 12 points (instead settling for 10), but more interestingly, without Heick's mistake, Ukraine wouldn't have received a single point from Denmark's jury.

But thankfully it didn't have any impact on the final reckoning, as Ukraine still would have won had she done it the right way round.
