Awesome! But since we're stress-testing it, let's try doing things wrong.
First thing that I noticed is that it doesn't let you post if there's a poll error. That's great! ... except it doesn't respect four spaces to put something in code format, so I can't easily tell you what I tried and what failed. Putting tests in their own comments to make it more obvious when something passes.
[edit]Oops, this also floods recent comments.
What use is the mean if anyone can just do something like this?
Yeah, scrap the mean, and show the 1st and 3rd quartile in addition to the median.
Point already raised and discussed, see below.
