Plurality

I didn't see a way to share your results, but this game is pretty interesting. Every day, they have results from a survey where the answers are one word answers. Maybe a survey got like 5000 responses, and you have a certain number of guesses to get up to 60% of the responses. You can do past ones, too. It's pretty cool.

Edit: Haha. Just found out you actually have to beat 60% for them to give you the option to share your score. Here's one from a few days ago, which was my first time to beat 60%.

I kind of messed up. I was expecting a parade or something, but I kept guessing long after I hit 60 and never did see the option to share your results. I was about to google programming languages because I couldn't think of anymore. Pure genius.

 

[Pifanjr]

I got like 20%. It was hard coming up with common insults people use for their boss.

 

[ZedClampet]

Aw, they want me to create an account. No thanks, I can just watch Family Feud.

 

[WoodenSaucer]

I didn't do well on the boss one. And even though I did well on the programming languages one, I was surprised at how many responses there were that had nothing to do with programming.

Have I got this right, that we're guessing what general public answered to a survey? I thought it was some curated list or survey of experts…

It's other people who go on the site. You can fill out surveys once you're done guessing them.

 

[WoodenSaucer]

The running one was very tough. I had the top 7, and it wasn't even close. I guessed a ton of correct responses and couldn't reach the goal for this one.

They normalize the entries, so that all verb conjugations get lumped together. Apparently they don't turn that off for polls where verbs wouldn't make sense as answers.

If you keep guessing to get to see the top responses, it adds those into your score that you share. Oh, I see now that it still shows that I guessed 10 times to win.

Man, today's sucked big time. I think it was actually impossible to win this one. Your favorite author. I named all the popular ones I could think of, then I started cheating big time. You had to guess like 84 to get the list. I went through a list of best selling authors of all time, current best selling authors, and current most popular authors. After using those resources and getting all of my allotted guesses in, I still didn't even come close to winning.
