It's Poll Week, Apparently

[thefourthvine]

My nine-year-old nephew has to do a ridiculous poll for his math class, and he needs lots of responses. It's one question. Anyone feel like taking it? Please? I would thank you! My sister would thank you! My nephew would also thank you!

(Added bonus humor for anyone who has ever taken a math class: his teacher assigned this question, and also assigned him to determine the mean, mode, and median of answers. If you take it, you'll see why we are all deeply amused by this. Statistics: UR TEACHIN IT RONG.)

ETA: SurveyMonkey broke! The question was as follows:

[Poll #1354750]

Feel free to take it if you haven't already, and thanks again!

The mean will be red and a half, I predict!

Orange?

Never mind, wrong way. Red and a half would be off the visible spectrum...~1050nm? Unless you want to use frequency, in which case it might be somewhere around violet...

Oh, good, someone else calculating the wavelength so I don't half to!

tfv, you should send your nephew to class with the wavelength & frequency calcultions! See what happens.

(...or, I think wavelength & frequency would be weird, because you had pink on there, didn't you? But you could totally do watts, assuming equal lumens for all colors! Or just pretend pink is actually fuschia.)

Bwah. I don't even know you, but I think I like you a lot.

I'm going to advocate that he turn that in, just like that. The teacher already knows she screwed up, right?
