If you like this sort of thing, you may also enjoy:<p>1) My website Correlated.org (<a href="http://www.correlated.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.correlated.org</a>), which has been generating weird correlations based on users' survey responses for more than four years.<p>2) Spurious Correlations (<a href="http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations" rel="nofollow">http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations</a>) by Tyler Vigen, which also offers wacky correlations, but based on publicly available datasets rather than survey responses.<p>3) Google Correlate (<a href="http://www.google.com/trends/correlate/draw" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/trends/correlate/draw</a>), which allows you to draw a curve, then find search terms whose popularity over time matches the shape you drew.
Found 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.
I wonder how many responses of :<p>Cantaloupe');DROP TABLE Food;--<p>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):<p>Cantaloupe'); clear all; clc; close all;
=== SPOILER ALERT! ===<p>The most interesting question, to me, is the one about which words you know the meaning of.<p>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).
Hope the results will be as entertaining as the Color Survey:

Thermostat: Warmer or Colder?<p>How about less intense? At the office I bring a sweater in the summer and so sometimes strip to my undershirt in the winter....
I am incredibly excited by this survey specifically because of the question regarding sandwiches.<p>I finally will have some meaningful data for my extensive definition of sandwiches as a structural form!
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.<p>In fact, how do we know that the form URL submitted to Hacker News is one of Randalls?<p>Dang should probably change the URL to the comic permalink: [1]<p>Though I am late to the party and this might not get noticed.<p>[1] <a href="http://xkcd.com/1572/" rel="nofollow">http://xkcd.com/1572/</a><p>[2] <a href="http://xkcd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://xkcd.com/</a><p>Edit: Actually refreshing the comic URL [1] is getting only a range of URLs to forms. More often than not the forms answers are in a different order, I suppose to either prevent bias, or encourage it and monitor it.
I spent 15 minutes filling it out only for Google to tell me "Wow, this file is really popular! It might be unavailable until the crowd clears."
I have a google form like this for Couchsurfers who wish to stay a few nights in my apartment. I believe my questions might be little bit more on the insane side though.
Was strangely fun answering these. Can't wait to chart some of this data on <a href="http://chartblocks.com" rel="nofollow">http://chartblocks.com</a>
