"Pick a number from 1 to 100" I wonder how many of that will not be 42 :D
I started with 14 (my wife's birthday/favorite number) but when it asked to pick another number I broke down and typed 42. I just couldn't help it!

I picked 72 for the first one and 18 for the second one. That's what came to mind. lol

Re: The xkcd survey
#84=== 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).
I thought all of the words were perfectly cromulent.
excellent comment - I offer you my most enthusiastic contrafibularities

#85Thermostat: Warmer or Colder? How about less intense? At the office I bring a sweater in the summer and so sometimes strip to my undershirt in the winter....
Yeah, I don't ever adjust a thermostat set by someone else. If there's a thermostat to set, I'm always happy with whatever anyone has set it to. if there isn't, there's nothing to set. There should be a choice "I never adjuust a thermostat."

#86If 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)…
I think my favorite is Google Correlate. I have no idea what the motorola tundra is but it got super popular on 12/21/2008 and then slowly fell out of interest by 2014.

I chose an approximation of pi and later e. But I was very close to just typing 42 :)
I tried typing pi in first, and then it said it had to be a number. Then I found I could do a decimal, so I went with the golden ratio.

#88Who else? > Type five random words five random words
But there wasn't a quotation mark. I considered starting with the words "type", "five", "random", and "words" - but I realized that that wasn't very random at all (very very low entropy.) So I truly came up with extremely random words.
