#4Found 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.

#6If 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) Google Correlate (http://www.google.com/trends/correlate/draw), which allows you to draw a curve, then find search terms whose popularity over time matches the shape you drew.

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.

Or people with access to a computer and the internet.
