> I need some of you to answer a survey. It's for one of those school projects that involves being active and going out to find people. I figured I could get some of you to help. This survey has certain qualifications though. To take it, you have to have been born between March 21st and April 19th, which means you are an Aries.

Hm. May I ask what kind of school project makes use of astrology for informal surveys? Is there something about the way Aries do things that is different


> Actually, I've heard slightly different dates, but the sign remains the same. So, only ariens from here on in.

I'm an Aries, so ok. You probably wanted straight either/or answers, but no dice. heh

Blue. You don't have Green!

> a. __ Solving a complex math problem by hand.
> __ Solving a complex math problem solely with a calculator.

Depends on the problem. I can do binary calc and graphing by hand but no way am I going to solve the straightforward 52! factorial without a calculator. :-)


> b. __ Reading a book.
> __ Reading a "Cliff's Notes" style summary.

Reading a book.


> c. __ Building a dog house.
> __ Buying a dog house.

Depends on how fast I wanted a doghouse. Wouldn't be too hard to do if I get the equipment (work bench, jig, sabre saw, mitre box, screws, stain, etc.). On the other hand, the carpentry gents I know are real pros.


> d. __ Climbing a tree.
> __ Climbing a tree with a ladder.

Using a ladder. I would have answered the first one except for the attempts this summer at trying to climb a 105 ft hemlock pine using harness and tree grappling hooks. Ugh.


> e. __ Asking for help with a problem (of any sort).
> __ Working through the problem alone.

First I'd ask for all the preliminary background info, then work through the problem alone.


> f. __ Winning "Employee of the Month" at your job.
> __ Getting a raise at you job.

Getting the raise of course.


> g. __ Growing a giant vegetable to eat.
> __ Growing a giant vegetable to enter in a contest.

Entering it into a contest. Giant vegetables = woody and spongy and inedible.


> h. __ Winning a race for a team.
> __ Beating your personal best time on your own.

Beating personal best.


> i. __ Compromising after a heated debate.
> __ Not letting a heated debate end until you have the last word.

Compromising. There have been enough times when I've discovered I was in the wrong.


> j. __ Losing a game.
> __ Quitting a game before you lose.

Losing fairly rather than quitting.


> Thanks for answering. This helps me a lot. Unless you aren't an aries, in which case you're just corrupting my data ;)

Survey respondents get to know what you're going to use all this data for?
