Aw, Midpack, I did not start this thread to poke at your mischievous poll as much as an acknowledgment of the critical thinking of our friend ERD50. ...
heh-heh; I guess some people didn't know what to make of my response there, and I certainly didn't know what to make of some the responses to my response.
To explain a bit, it was foremost about 50% (attempted) light-hearted humor. The second 50% was a mix of my normal habit of looking at things logically, a bit of 'game playing' analysis (like this thread, and your black sheep story - is there a 'trick' answer?), and I just couldn't resist commenting after Midpack claimed there was an 'incorrect' answer, when I suspected that his idea of 'incorrect' was not the same as mine.
And since the poll was obviously a set-up, I probably looked at the question a bit differently, and looked for a 'hook'. Was I really the only one to see that? It actually seemed very obvious to me - 'Did you answer this poll?' - 'No, not yet.' was the first thing that popped into my head.
If any of the responses to my response were showing some aggravation (it's hard to tell in a post), I would find that odd, since the OP was obviously a set-up/joke, I would think any responses (esp with my' cherry tree' comment) would be taken as joking also. But maybe not?
At any rate - here's one of my favorite unexpected answers to a question, where the answer is obviously correct (From Benny Hill):
In the final round of a television game show, the game show host keeps giving one contestant (a beautiful woman) super-easy questions, the other contestant (Benny) is asked impossibly hard questions.
The final Q:
And for 1,000,000 pounds, Mr. Hill, can you name everyone who attended the 1986 Wimbledon match, their full names, addresses and phone numbers?
The answer:
No, I can't - and that is the correct answer to your question!
