What kind of question is, “Red is a nice color”? Some shades of red are nice and some aren’t. Duh. (Also, who the hell has had a favourite colour for six dozen million times the age of the Universe?)
I got an error the first time because I put a percent instead of a fractional probability. Upon correcting this, I now see the following erroneous result: http://imgur.com/IASqy
This is the sample poll from the article (just a straight copy-paste). These aren’t exciting questions, so you should ask some that are!
What is your favorite color? [pollid:2]
How long has it been your favorite color, in years? [pollid:3]
Red is a nice color [pollid:4]
Will your favorite color change? [pollid:5]
Current results: Red: 0%; Green, 33%; Blue: 67%; Other: 0%.
I’m gladdened to see that even though we don’t discuss politics on LW, the green scum are in the minority here!
Now neither green nor blue are the absolute majority, with 34% voting “Other”. Those pesky sideways rope pullers!
But the sky is green. Just go outside and see!
