#32Is 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.
It worked for me.

#33If you like this sort of thing, you may also enjoy: 1) My website Correlated.org ( http://www.correlated.org ), which has been generating weird correlations based on users' survey responses for more than four years. 2) Spurious Correlations ( http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations ) by Tyler Vigen, which also offers wacky correlations, but based on publicly available datasets rather than survey responses. 3)…
Correlated.org is quite brilliant. Is there a way to see the most popular posts?
Re: The xkcd survey
#34=== 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).
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.
Unless, of course, it was assumed this discussion would take place.

#35Found out that gnome 3 has some keybinding for dynamically changing screen resolution. I don't know which keybinding that is, but I found it during the mash the keyboard test.

Yeah, while I was "typing" my response to that question, my screen suddenly went completely black... and then luckily just returned to normal a few seconds later.
... or at least I thought it returned to normal...
Having read your comment, I realize all the text on my display is subtlely squashed and blurry in a way that I didn't notice, but is pretty obvious now that I'm looking for it! ><

#37So is the last question not a common thing? Because I do it every year or so, but my wife thinks I am crazy.
It's not as common as it should be.

It totally needs to be.
Re: The xkcd survey
#39Kinda pointless, the whole thing - though I bet some statistician is going to publish some deep-insight paper from this data :D

I think that is very wasteful.
