    the poll IS meaningless...

    those who want to be clever will put themselves in the top 1%

    everyone else is either too embarassed to admit it, too thick to vote or they don't care

    therefore safest to vote in the "don't understand" option!

    that is my excuse anyway

      The rest just didn't understand the question...

      Or were joking. I suspect a mixture of the two. One thing for sure by definition there have to be some in the top percentile, but this isn't going to identify them
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        I think anyone with any brains would stay away from this poll

        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

              Just spent 8 hours on a bug.

              Probably the bottom 1%.

                That's the whole point... it's as much a measure of arrogance as anything else.

                By "crowd" I mean those who actually post here, not really % of the X thousand registered members who never say anything.

                And yes, I meant to make it a public poll but was too dumb to remember

                  that depends - if it was a really really difficult bug it might have taken the other 99% of people 80 hours to fix!

                    And the chances of people lying are how big?

                      The chance that you are lying is high too. And therefore the chance that they are lying is not big?
                      I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.
