Yeah, a real shame it only has a 50-poll limit. I'll try to submit a feedback ticket to see if I get him to implement "Next Page" and "Previous Page" links so we can view more than 50 results. But in the meantime, you could try something like this instead: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?search=Got+Wii%3F If you wanted to, you could use something like "Got DS?", "Got Xbox 360?", etc. in place of "Got Wii?" just to see how much he has overused the "Got System?" polls. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

I re-read it and that does seem to be what he's suggesting. I guess
he just didn't notice that most people's siblings here wouldn't also
vote in said poll. A pretty big detail, but one I could see being
overlooked. A family with several children is still much more likely to have at least one of them vote in the poll. Giving them a weight according to the inverted of the number of siblings, although imperfect, makes perfect sense (and is certainly superior to not giving a weight at all). --- Those who speak do not know, those who know do not speak - Soviet adage A man, a plan, a canal, Panama |

From: consolefreak | #454 Not if the majority of those multi-sibling families only have one sibling voting, which I assume is the cast for maybe 98% of the GameFAQs population. --- Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 Fallout 3 |

| Well considering GameFAQs' boy to girl ratio if we
take the middle ground of the two extremes we'll probably get closer to
the exact value. --- Board 8 BOP: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB7%20BOP.xls Congratulations to FastFalcon for winning the guru contest, you are the best among the best. |

Not if the majority of those multi-sibling families only have one
sibling voting, which I assume is the cast for maybe 98% of the
GameFAQs population. First of all, it should be said that you can't really conclude anything about the average size of the gameFAQs population given this poll ; the number of siblings doesn't necessarily say anything about the size of the current, active "gameFAQs" family (a vote from a parent doesn't give information about the size of his family, but rather about the size of his family when he was growing up, one generation ago) Even negating "the parent factor", though, the numbers shown will be inflated. And not only because multiple siblings may vote; not every gameFAQs visitor votes every single day - it's likely that the majority don't. In larger families there is simply a greater chance that at least one (or several) will vote on any given gameFAQs poll. Thus, the larger families will be overly represented. --- Those who speak do not know, those who know do not speak - Soviet adage A man, a plan, a canal, Panama |

Well actually I take that back. Europe has had all day to vote but it's
now 9 or 10 at night over there, so they'll shortly be going to bed.
Americans should roll in the rest of the afternoon and evening to drop
the foreigner result down to the 35% or so where it should be. --- thengamer.com/guru/ says we just got owned hard by FastFalcon! (thengamer.com/xstats & board8.wikia.com are neat) |
