I wanted to vote "green", but it wasn't there - so I'll not bother ....

According to these early returns we need a lot more polls.

According to these early returns we need a lot more polls with more options to chose from.

vivaldirules · 03-08-2009, 10:54 AM

More importantly, how many polls is simply not enough? And if the existence of one poll reasonably justifies the posting of another poll, then why not post two? And if the possibility exists that two polls, be they identical in both form and substance, might exist simultaneously in both time and space, would they annihilate each other and result in the total destruction of the known universe or would they instead procreate and lead to an infinite number of unknown universes of polls. The mind fairly boggles.

Why isn't there an option for 0? Or -1 (take away one of last week's polls)?

So, Uncle Duke, hows your first poll working for you?

i think dg is enjoying this more than she should !

There is no selection for zero.

RWood · 03-09-2009, 09:09 PM

I think it was/is a given that some level of polls is desired, therefore the zero (0) to one (1) level is given. We already know what we want, we are just discussing/polling for how much of it we want.

The population of Polland is 36,800,000

So how many options do we need per pole per week?

yvanleterrible · 03-09-2009, 09:23 PM

I don't know at what rate they reproduce.

RWood · 03-09-2009, 10:14 PM

Assume a stable population births = deaths and new arrivals = departures. Also assume that the average IQ is stable over time.

forwhatitsworth · 03-10-2009, 11:46 AM

the only answer is 501 or more
poll after poll I keep it on a roll
