It's Poll Week, Apparently

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!

Aw, it's kind of adorable that he spelled "which" two different ways, neither of them the, well, standard way. *g* (Statistics--teaching it SO VERY WRONG, but I get enough flail over the educational system when I see what my seven-year-old niece brings home for homework.)

His spelling is adorably idiosyncratic! Yeah, he's more of a math kid than a language kid. *g*

...Should I ask? *worried*

Whereas my niece is more of a language kid. Ah, stereotypes. Anyway. I just think that it should not take three reasonably intelligent adults to figure out what she's actually supposed to do on her homework papers. It's insane. And it's not a bad school, that's the scary part. The next time she gets a particularly maddening one, I'll write it down for you.
