My standard answer to anything I'm pretty sure the questioner doesn't really want to know my opinion is one of your choices; I like pie. My family knows what I mean when I say that and knows to drop the subject or get an earful of PIE.

Pie is fine, but I don't see why you didn't include cornbread, the other obvious answer.

yea... that iss my IQ... I meant to do e^(i*pi/2)
with pie being a choice... which is not a number at all and not therefore not a number between 0 and 10.. than why can't I opt for complex numbers?

This poll should be all the proof newbies need to see that no one will understand or care about their numbers like they do. Even though they might think numbers is complicated and they have so many numbers to decide from, they need to understand why they should pick a particular number before turning the decision over to a F(igure) A(advisor).

I wanted to vote for pi but 3 was the closest whole number. Instead I picked three.

Runningbum my virtual hat is off to you. 
I was thinking of doing a nonsense poll, but did not have the courage to do so. 
Can I have partial credit for the thought?

I dunno. Maybe you should do a poll...

Can we split the pie? It's over 40%.
