I propose a collusion for everybody to answer "42" when they don't even have a WAG .Volante wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 12:07 pmYes, you get credited for a MCWA if it is below the 5% threshold but it's still the MCWA. I've had a couple of those I know of for sure (and probably many others I don't; hasn't been a stat I've kept track of really)twelvefootboy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 11:55 am Another tidbit (if true) - According to posters on the message board (from the MD25Q6), you can get credited for an MCWA that doesn't meet the reporting threshold of 5%. Two people who submitted "95" instead of the roman numeral got credited (or confused). It seems a little fishy that there would be a filter to reward ten or twenty people, surely there's a bottom someplace.
With 11,000+ people, the odds that the most common wrong answer covers only 10-20 people would be quite improbable...but if it's still the MCWA, then why not count it? The only MCWA I'd actually refuse to accept would be a null answer.
I think it would be interesting to see them all, without the 5% publishing threshold. And as a stats geek, I'd be curious how low the MCWA can go. I missed Taylor Swift along with about 700 other people, so how laughable was the MCWA there? There probably is less than 50 or 100 for that one as us feckless pop music people try to remember who the flavor of the month is. Stupid loves company, ya'know.
