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!

Heh, so they teach color theory with statistics? Though it is kind of hard for nine year olds to have to calculate mixed colors with percentages. I mean, I suppose the easiest way to have normed numerical scales to find out for colors would be using RGB values, but of course those don't mix like solid colors children are used to... (I'm probably overthinking this.) OTOH maybe he can use it as a pretense to make a mess with finger paint for an experimental approach.

I think the teacher should be required to delve into color theory if she's going to have assignments like this. (Though I'm sort of afraid of what she might teach, actually.)

Finger paint seems like an excellent solution to this problem, actual. A visual mean!
