Polling Thread January 2016

Gunnar_Zarncke

The next installment of the Polling Thread.

This is your chance to ask your multiple choice question you always wanted to throw in. Get qualified numeric feedback to your comments. Post fun polls.

These are the rules:

Each poll goes into its own top level comment and may be commented there.
You must at least vote all polls that were posted earlier than you own. This ensures participation in all polls and also limits the total number of polls. You may of course vote without posting a poll.
Your poll should include a 'don't know' option (to avoid conflict with 2). I don't know whether we need to add a troll catch option here but we will see.

If you don't know how to make a poll in a comment look at the Poll Markup Help.

This is a somewhat regular thread. If it is successful I may post again. Or you may. In that case do the following :

Use "Polling Thread" in the title.
Copy the rules.
Add the tag "poll".
Link to this Thread or a previous Thread.
Create a top-level comment saying 'Discussion of this thread goes here; all other top-level comments should be polls or similar'
Add a second top-level comment with an initial poll to start participation.

Warning: This test takes a lot of time, and you even don' have a feedback how far you are. I have no idea how long it really is, because I started doing it, first it was interesting, then it was just super long and boring but I felt like "okay, I have already spent much time here, and maybe the answer will be useful to someone", but then it was even longer and even more boring and at some moment I just got angry and quit. I have no idea whether I was already close to the end, or maybe not even in the middle.

You must at least vote all polls that were posted earlier than you own.

This rule should not apply to anything that takes more than 1 minute of user's time.

But Viliam is right that this poll should be excluded from the "vote all" rule (though that only applies if you post your own poll strictly). I added a warning to the poll nonetheless.

The test blurb estimates 20 minutes. How long it actually takes depends only on how long you spend making up your mind which face to click. I didn't take more than a few seconds on any of them, because if I don't recognise a face in that time, I don't recognise it and should just click my best guess and move on. I didn't time myself, but I believe I took rather less than 20 minutes. (89%, despite my subjective impression that faces with all the rest of the head cropped away look pretty much alike.)
