Survey questions and answers

Where the answers come from

The questions are asked earlier to survey respondents — ideally people of different ages and backgrounds, so the results do not depend on one group. So in the game you do not guess the "correct" answer but what people answered most often. It is not a quiz with one objectively right answer.

How to read the board

The points next to an answer tell how many people out of 100 respondents gave it. The answers are ordered from the most popular.

Rare answers do not make it onto the board. Example — "Name something you take to the beach": towel 31 people, sunscreen 22, sunglasses 14. Single answers such as an umbrella (3 people), a book (2) or a hammock (1) are left out. That is why the points on the board usually add up to less than 100.

Questions with 3 to 8 recurring answers work best; questions with very scattered answers are less interesting.

What an answer matching the board means

The team tries to guess the answers on the board. An answer that is on the board is uncovered, and its points go to the round pool. An answer that is not on the board is a mistake. Details Round flow and the duel.

How the app uses poll results

The app can collect answers in your own poll Polls and collecting answers and turn them into a board of answers with points:

• Any number of voters — there can be fewer than 100 people or several hundred. To count the votes you need at least 10 people who answered all the questions (complete responses).
• Points are the percentage of complete responses, rounded down. If 20 out of 50 people gave the same answer, it gets 40 points — as if there were 100 respondents.
• An answer makes it onto the board from 4 points. Rarer answers are left out.
• The board holds at most 6 answers — that is how many rows the Display has. If more answers qualify, the six most popular stay.
• To close the poll, every question must have at least 3 such answers.

In a standard poll, the app first merges identical answers, and you can merge similar ones (e.g. "towel" and "towels") and fix typos. Only then does it count the points, drop answers below 4 points and pick the top six Counting and tidying up the answers.
