You mean the "brushing your teeth" question? Yeah, I honestly thought the routine was before breakfast, but makes more sense to brush them after.

I think people just include it as a normal part of the morning routine; wake up, wash face/take shower, brush teeth, get dressed and eat something.

To be honest thats how mine goes but I don't eat breakfast (or I eat in the car).

Also this confirms that Pap is the whole of Puerto Rica Wii voting contingency.

I love how the hot/cold question ended with everyone in the country saying cold except the states that were hit in the blizzard last week.

My Wife is 29 meter and I'm 26 meter. She's gotten 2 wrong/8 right/297 points and I've gotten 2 wrong/8 right/330 Points and we have voted in every single poll. I hope that helps.

Vote Count: 14
Wins: 7
Losses: 3
Prediction Accuracy: 70.0%
Points: 249
Distance: 26m

Does anyone have any idea why sometimes on the national map there are three colours? I've seen, in Canada, the two greens (normal voting green and another less brighter green) and the normal voting pink.

Uh, presumably because different regions sometimes have different distributions of votes.

Actually I've seen it with Pink as well. Overall four colors: Pink, light Pink, light Green, Green. I just always read that as they were close to 50% towards one way or another.

Caliban · « **Reply #85 on:** March 04, 2007, 12:43:26 PM »

Ceric, I too thought that the light colouring is significant for a tie.

Oh well, it's not that important anyways, just something to scratch my head on about.

Ceric · « **Reply #86 on:** March 04, 2007, 02:19:04 PM »

Yeah, I'm hoping there is an update for the channel with three things:

1: When you hover over a state you get the percentages.
2: The world gets a third mode that overlays the globe with the percentages.
3: 4 choice questions.

Caliban · « **Reply #87 on:** March 04, 2007, 03:08:14 PM »

Such an update would be awesome.

Have people been using this as an easy way to send a message to nintendo?
Everyday my "poll" isn't a question with answers, but rather three separate statements, something like do more to encourage 3rd party vc content, get online play and scoreboards, or translate unreleased rpgs. I dont even phrase it as a question.
The stats and actual polls are nice, but I think this channel has more use as a feedback channel.

That's a great way to be totally ignored. There are tons of ways to send Nintendo feedback already. I don't get why anyone would want to spam up this channel with it instead of sending an email.

I said the very same thing. Illinois was flipping cold in February.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #92 on:** March 05, 2007, 06:47:49 AM »

I thought the hot/cold question was stupid as hell. I mean, both are extreme weather conditions no human being was born to tolerate fully. People that are constantly exposed to blazing heat wish they were in a cold environment and vice versa, so how can you truly calculate what people prefer? If the question was "How do you prefer your tea/or coffee?", then it would make some sense.

What did you guys think of the latest set of questions?

This is what I picked:
1. How tall are you?: Above average
2. Do you like your name?: Yes
3. The next American Idol winner will be a: Girl
4. Which smell worse?: Old socks

I chose socks because I've yet to encounter bad breath that would dethrone the smell of old, sweaty socks.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #93 on:** March 05, 2007, 07:43:47 AM »

The hot/cold question didn't specify what, exactly, was at that temperature, but any way you look at it, freezing cold is the only option for most of human existence. You can bundle up if it's freezing cold outside. You'd die if it were hot enough to boil water. You need boiling hot temperatures to cook food, but you'd badly burn yourself if you consumed it before it cooled. On the other hand, we eat frozen food all the time.

The height question is kind of odd. If most people don't pick average, I'll be surprised.

I have a complaint about this channel now. I didn't get to see the results of the questions I didn't answer. I don't eat breakfast, so I couldn't answer the teeth brushing question, and I don't like to watch any sports on TV, so I didn't answer that one. That doesn't mean I wouldn't find the results interesting, though, Nintendo!

You already have a very easy ways to send "messages" to Nintendo. Their Contact Us! webpage. Comon, you can type an email can't you? feedback@nintendo.com and support@nintendo.com Or you could always just call them at 1-800-255-3700 and _politely_ give them a piece of your mind.

Chances are, just like with the Forecast Channel and News Channel, they've got a separate company supporting the Everybody Votes channel. So in all likely hood, Nintendo is never going to see your "statements".

Besides, what's so hard about writing an e-mail? If you can "type" three cryptic statement "questions" everyday with your Wii-mote on the Vote channel. Then you can type three coherent and explained suggestions in an email to Nintendo everyday, which will actually be read by Nintendo. You'll probably spend less time typing too.

Some people might be like that, but others--like me--prefer what they're accustomed to.

I won't. Average and median are very different. An extreme example to demonstrate my point would be five people who're 4 feet and another five who're 6 feet. The average is 5 feet, but everyone is of unaverage height.

Besides that, the question regards perception. It's possible that enough people may in their minds exagerate their height's difference from the average to skew the results.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #96 on:** March 06, 2007, 04:01:48 AM »

That's exactly why I think it's the most interesting question asked so far. We're talking about a much larger sample set than in your hypothetical situation, so there are going to be plenty of people close to the average height, by any definition of average. It's the perception thing that I'm curious about.
