In that space, I wanted to say PI, but unfortunately they only allow ints...
Did you also pick e?

#42So is the last question not a common thing? Because I do it every year or so, but my wife thinks I am crazy.
I've definitely had friends who both did it, and then told me I should. So it's a thing, but I don't know how common. Guess we'll find out =D
Re: The xkcd survey
#43=== 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).
It was funny to see the slang word "fleek" in there, very unexpected.
I put yes for this because I've heard the funny sounding slang phrase 'on fleek' (similar to on point) before, but I'm not sure if it actually is an OED word.

#44"Pick a number from 1 to 100"
I wonder how many of that will not be 42 :D

I think that is very wasteful. http://wwf.panda.org/about_our_earth/about_freshwater/freshw...
I mean, I run 6 days a week so my running socks get beat up pretty bad. When they are dead, I need to throw them out. So my options are:
1) Buy 1 new pack of socks, throw out 6 old socks - repeat every month. Doing it this way I have to match socks between several different styles.
or
2) Put 4 packs of socks, throw out all of my socks, repeat 4x less often. Also I have no matching to do, as all of my socks are the same - just grab 2.
(And technically I have 2 styles of socks, summer socks and winter socks. Summer socks is a buttload of cotton socks that get bought in bulk. Winter socks are 3-4 pairs of identical wool socks that last much longer).

Some of them were definitely highly specific jargon to medical fields and the like. I'm betting fewer of them are made up than you think.

#47Found 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.
HAH! I almost just had coffee spurting out of my nose.

I chose an approximation of pi and later e. But I was very close to just typing 42 :)

I thought I had an above-average vocabulary, so I was getting nervous when I didn't recognize many of them.
