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!

Adorable! Taken!

Wow, okay, way to go, education system. This reminds me of the time that someone at the bank my mother works for explained that they had had 20% growth that quarter, because each of the four branches had had 5% growth. *facepalm*

Thank you!

And, oh god, ow ow ow. If you work in a bank, you should probably be slightly better at numbers than that. (Although my father once got in a hectic battle with a cashier at the grocery store because she insisted that if the bill was $30.73, and my father had provided $40.03, the resulting change would be $9.34. He didn't even care if the change was RIGHT, he just wanted her to acknowledge that it should end in zero.)

...this explains a lot about the current state of the economy.
