Also, no rational person is going to assume everybody is going to pick 100%. I don't understand the reasoning behind that at all, dree12.

100% does not mean 100%. It means >99.5%, which is your argument applied in a stronger fashion.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

I've seen/done more of these polls over time, and usually the correct answer is indeed around the 25% range. I wanted to make it a bit more interesting, that's why I didn't make the ranges the same size; the high percentage is obviously much higher.
I find it funny there's always people choosing 100%. It's not like everyone is going to do that…

V cvpxrq 100% onfrq ba na nffhzcgvba gung V nz engvbany naq rirelbar ryfr vf engvbany. Gurersber, fvapr jr ner nyy engvbany, jr jbhyq boivbhfyl nyy cvpx 100%.

Nalguvat <50%: Ab, orpnhfr gur engvbany crbcyr jvyy nyy pubbfr gur fnzr nafjre.
51-99%: 8.3% (veerthyne) + 50% (engvbany) = 58.3%, va gur enatr.
100%: Ab, orpnhfr gur veerthyne crbcyr jvyy abg ibgr sbe guvf.

Guvf cbyy unf fb sne erirnyrq 10.3% bs crbcyr cvpx 0-1%. Guvf bcgvba qbrf abg znxr frafr rira vs rirelbar jrer veerthyne, naq znxrf yvggyr frafr vs rirelbar jrer engvbany. Gurfr 10.3% pna or nffhzrq gb or veerthyne, cynpvat n zvavzhz ba gur ahzore bs veerthynef ng 62%.

(notice: the previous response is not written in German. It is rotated 13 letters of the alphabet to spoiler the discussion.)

Is there an APP for this? For a second, I thought I was reading a new Wordpress theme.

BTW, I voted 0-1% believing it was a trick poll and most would have chosen that option as well. To date, that would make me a ten percenter. Not bad for my first self-referential poll.

I declare the 2-20% people right.
Of course, that still might change.
