And there are as many ways to do it as there are countries, the United Nations recently discovered at a four-day conference attended by number-happy scientists from 55 countries.
What does "number-happy" mean in this case? |

XXXX-happy means the person is very focused and concerned with XXXX.
In this case, "number-happy" means the scientists are focused on numerical facts and statistics. They will probably bring lots of powerpoint slides with charts and graphs.
