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.
