[RunningBum]

Just for fun.

 

[Walt34]

[Taxman59]

2

8 - Yogi's uniform number.

 

[RunningBum]

4. I picked 4.

e would be as good pi, but you did not have it. You had the taste pie, not the number pi. e^(i*pi) would be good to... but it is in a different number space.

 

[rodi]

The obvious answer is pie.

 

[NW-Bound]

The poll has only 10 choices. Finer granularity would have been achieved with 15 or more choices.

 

[W2R]

The obvious answer is pie.

But I want for it to be cherry. All I could vote for was non-specific pie.

 

[Nemo2]

c for me...well duh.

In keeping with the spirit of no one seems to be able to create a poll on this forum that satisfies everyone, I'll comment that, the selections (numbers) are really "integers" since none of the "numbers" have fractional parts. (however selection 8 was pretty close)

I'll have a slice of pecan please with just a little vanilla ice cream on top -

"Three. No fair, this option doesn't apply to people outside the US who may not speak or write English as their first language."

Ya know, you don't have to go far in the world to find lots of furriners who don't think what ya'll speak is English anyhew......

 

[Big_Hitter]

square root of 3

Cherry pie is good, pecan pie with just a little vanilla ice cream is good... but if we get mince pie then let's protest!

 

[Music Lover]

Why can't I pick 2 numbers

<pedantic>
e^(i*pi) is in fact -1, so it is in the same number space (the real numbers), but isn't between 1 and 10 per the poll.

Not just poking fun at poll creators, but also poll answerers. I've been guilty myself of taking offense at poll questions and answer options.

Generally speaking, I've learned to take most polls as entertainment value. I'll answer if I feel like it, or just skip it. Sometimes it spurs interesting discussion so I do follow some and comment. I find for the most part how others answer polls have no effect on what I do, though if I am an outlier I may think about whether I should be doing something differently. But really, what do I care how much other people spend or what % of their net worth is something? There are so many variables that come into play that I don't know what poll makers are expecting to get out of their polls.

OK. So,

"So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry"

Me too.... Finally, we agree.

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.

 

[audreyh1]

Pi is misspelled!!! LOL!

 

[braumeister]

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

 

[Gumby]

The only obvious answer is 42.

 

[LRDave]

There is no number 6, Bruce.
