How come?
It's always the number everyone thinks no one else will choose.
I saw a list once of what makes each number from 1 to 100 special. One of them was the most random number (I think 37). Another one was the least special (63 perhaps?).

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.
Mmmm... no. * Phoropter * Tribution * Slickle * Cadine * Fination * Apricity * Revergent * Unitory * Trephony These are not words. They are not highly specific jargon either. They are just made up nonsense.

Sigh. I hit "Enter" and it submitted the form without letting me finish. Now they will never know if I'm a dog or a cat person...
I suspect the real problem isn't so much hitting "enter" but hitting it directly after the other hand hit "tab". A text field should be able to deal with an enter.

hit back button, continued.

As far as I know, it's not possible to record respondents' IP addresses with Google Surveys, so I think that one's out. I suppose you could make rough inferences based on the food, weather, and snow questions.
The keyboard part will help quite a bit, at least. Being from Norway, the occasional æ-ø-ås are quite revealing.
I wonder how many responses of : Cantaloupe');DROP TABLE Food;-- ol' Randal is going to get (or some permutation thereof). Figuring that Randal is pretty smart, I bet he has a piece of code to parse out that. Still, anyone here have a good hack that can just nuke days of his time whilst completing this form? Only other one I can think of him using is (for Matlab): Cantaloupe'); clear all; clc; close all;
I wonder how much the dynamic URLs to the forms are playing a part in this. Each refresh of the comic [1] and homepage [2] gets a different form URL. Are these being associated with other data from the xkcd.com domain..? And how much has it messed up Randall to have such shenanigans defeated by a direct form URL being submitted to Hacker News. In fact, how do we know that the form URL submitted to Hacker News is one…
So is the last question not a common thing? Because I do it every year or so, but my wife thinks I am crazy.

"Revergent" gets a definition here[1] as "a mutation that precisely restores a mutant DNA sequence to a WT DNA sequence".
