Re: The Gyllenhaal Experiment
#3This looks cool but I don't understand the results.
The correct path is the one highlighted in blue.
Is the most popular path the one that always follows the largest child? Or is the top-most child the most popular one? This is unambiguous on the Britney Spears example, but not on Zooey Deschanel, for example.
Also, I'd never heard of half of these people so had no idea how their name should be spelt.

the correct path is always blue. path popularity is based on line thickness.

The most popular/well traveled route is the largest.

So how is vertical ordering decided? It's not lexical.
EDIT: I just looked again and it has changed. Perhaps the vertical ordering is random?

I'm pretty sure it's just the width of the path that corresponds to how popular it is.

#9It seems likely that I am not the only person who can't spell Chuck Palahniuk's last name.
Edit: Now that I think about it, it might be more accurate to say that nobody can spell Chuck Palahniuk's last name...

#10Oh that was disappointing - I hadn't heard of one of them so I hit what I thought was the "skip" button, and it took me straight to the results of all of the questions without letting me try any of the rest.
I realise that this is because I am stupid - there is a warning, but I thought it was just warning me I wouldn't be able to try that question again, not that I wouldn't be able to try any of them. (It said that you wouldn't be able to go back again, but I didn't want to go back - I wanted to go forward.) Boo.
