#12Is there any reason the results or at least the summary page are not already visible?
Re: The xkcd survey
#13=== SPOILER ALERT! === The most interesting question, to me, is the one about which words you know the meaning of. About half of them aren't real words. I assume this question is used partly as a gauge of vocabulary (how many of the real words do you recognize) and partly of honesty (how many of the fake words do you claim to recognize).
And not at all biased toward native english speakers...
"Biased" in the sense of correlation, yes.

#14Is the submit not supposed to work on iOS? Kind of a let down to spend 10 minutes filling it out, then the submit button doesn't do anything.

I thought all of the words were perfectly cromulent.

Kinda wish you had waited until after the results were published to mention it. Plenty of people will read the comments first, so by talking about it now you're actively harming the very experiment you're so impressed by.

In that space, I wanted to say PI, but unfortunately they only allow ints...
Re: The xkcd survey
#20Kinda pointless, the whole thing - though I bet some statistician is going to publish some deep-insight paper from this data :D
