IWS #216 - Results!
I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. Thanks for waiting around for me to get back from mine and wrap up this edition of I'm With Stupid.
Here are the question-by-question results... 1. What brand of laptop was Stupid running? Dell - 19 HP - 4 Apple - 3 A surprising eliminator here (my bad). There was a moment's hope when 3 HP answers came in consecutively, but alas. 2. How long had Stupid had his laptop before it kicked the bucket? 5 years - 13 3 years - 5 1 year - 4 2 years - 3 4 years - 1 Again, was hoping that the 1/3 year answers would have a stronger showing (1 year was actually up 4-2 in the early going). But Stupid loves round numbers. 3. What was the ultimate cause of the laptop's demise? Hard drive - 11 Motherboard - 4 Virus - 4 Physical damage - 3 Speed - 2 Battery - 1 Heartbleed - 1 A decent second tier of answers here, but people seem convinced that the hard drive is the issue. Which is weird, because that's never been the issue for me. 4. How much time will Stupid spend shopping for a new laptop? 1 week - 15 1 day - 5 1 hour - 3 10 minutes - 1 30 minutes - 1 6 months - 1 The answer of 1 week started slowly, but gained tons of steam as days went on. The loners represent a fantastically wide spread of shopping time. 5. What will be the feature that Stupid cares about the most in a new laptop? Display size - 7 Speed - 7 RAM - 4 Graphics - 3 Battery life - 1 Hard drive capacity - 1 Laptop color - 1 Operating system - 1 Price - 1 The best spread of any question here. There is a lot of lumping in, to be fair, but we would've had a lot of singletons otherwise. 6. How much money will Stupid spend on his new laptop? $1000 - 20 $500 - 6 Another situation where there were clumps of $500 answers that made me think this would be close to a split. Surprised nobody tried $1500 or $2000. -------------------------------------------------- And now, for the results! Has an extensive series of tubes: Code:

Certainly not impulse buyers here at FOFC. I dont understand how it takes 1 week to shop for a laptop. I feel odd at this point.
Congrats flere and well done britrock. Last edited by jbergey22 : 04-21-2014 at 11:07 AM. |

Masked's IWS run from 30-33 is like the Bill Russell era Celtics of I'm With Stupid.
