I'm guessing it is just part of what makes you the warm and sensitive, wonderful guy that you are (and makes those Rules Committee decisions so equitable and sound).........

What happened to that guy who always slams the Rules Committee? I'm sure I'll hear from him after the results have been posted.

In the time it took you to post that Cherie, you could have submitted your game answers.

Cherie, posting it twice isn't going to make your case any stronger. It will probably just irritate the Rules Committee (in spite of their overwhelming fairness ),
You are obviously sensing that you didn't do very well on the game and are throwing yourself on the mercy of the court.

I can sense the anticipation out there, of everyone dying to hear the results of my family dining survey. 
So let’s get to it.
Question 1 asked about what type of food on our Epcot day.
As you can see above, “German” was the overwhelming response.
Question 2 was still in regard to our Epcot day, but provided menu examples. Also, it allowed for ranking of the responses, so maybe something from question 1 that was everyone’s second choice (like Canadian maybe?) could emerge from the shadows.
Le Cellier did come out of nowhere to make a decent showing in this question, but Biergarten was the clear family favorite, in both questions. I personally voted for Les Chefs de France. I mean, I love Biergarten but we’ve eaten there our last two trips and I thought it was time to try something different. The family obviously thought differently, and that was the purpose of the survey – to tap into what they’re thinking. Also, Biergarten was the top choice of Gram and Poppy (and Lauren), and since they haven’t eaten there before it keeps me from being tempted to “override” the survey results. Everyone else except me had it as their second choice, so its popularity in the survey was obviously no fluke.
Marlene and James both voted Les Chefs first, although they both replied with inconsistent answers in Question 1, Italian and German, respectively. But the other voters had Le Chefs at least in the middle of the pack, if not toward the bottom.
Le Cellier was the second choice of Gram, Poppy, and Lauren, and the third choice for me, Judy, and James. Marlene had it last. So it makes sense that it made a good showing in the ranking question, but didn’t appear on the first question where you could only provide one response.
Via Napoli got its highest score, a 2, from me. But of course I’ve read the reviews of their good pizza, and the others haven’t. Marlene and Lauren each ranked “Pasta, Pizza” as a 3, and the rest had it as 4’s and 5’s.
La Hacienda de San Angel was the least favored. It was Judy’s top choice, but got 4’s and 5’s from everyone else.
Well, that’s a lot of discussion on the first two questions…let’s keep moving. The next question was a ranking for a special meal. The restaurants I was thinking of were Jiko, Flying Fish, Sanaa, and ’Ohana. Yeah, I don’t know how ’Ohana slipped in there as a “special” meal. I guess I’d just read a couple of trip reports on it and was hungry for potstickers.
The race here was a lot tighter. As you can see, Flying Fish was the overall winner, but there are some other interesting things going on when you look at the data. For one thing, Sanaa actually tied Flying Fish amongst the “payers” (versus “glommers”).
Unfortunately, Gram and Poppy didn’t help break any ties, since Gram’s first choice (Jiko) was Poppy’s last choice, and his first choice (’Ohana) was her last.
Jiko was kind of interesting in that it received no second choice votes. It was either someone’s first choice, or towards the bottom.
Flying Fish though, in addition to being the overall winner, seems like a safe choice in that no one voted it last. It got a lot of 1’s or 2’s, and only one 3.
Next question: Dinner show? Well, duh!
Okay, but which one?
Overwhelmingly the Luau. All of my immediate family voted for the luau except myself, because I thought my parents would like Hoop de Doo better. But Gram and Poppy were split; Gram voting for Hoop, Poppy the Luau. If they had both voted for Hoop then maybe I would have overridden my family’s votes, but since they were split we’ll go with the overall result.
The “Male/Female, Yes/No” question.
Everyone answered “correctly”. I’m the main jokester in the family and I had gotten my fun in creating the survey, so even I didn’t answer this one with a “No”.
How many “Payers” and how many “Glommers”?
Again, everyone answered “correctly”. We take our surveys very seriously here.
And the last question, “Which Disney character are you most like?”
Announcement of the Match Game!
I was thinking, let’s have a new game
based on the information in the pie chart. Simply match up the people who participated in my survey (including me) with the characters in the chart. Who provided which responses? Whoever of you DISers gets the most right gets a point. If there’s a tie, both (or all) of you get a point. I’ll give you until this Thursday at 8pm eastern time to make your guesses. You can just reply here on the thread, in super-secret invisio-white text.
Since we’re doing this Match Game, I won’t reveal the results of the last 2 questions of the survey game until the Match Game is done. Those answers could give you some clues. In the meantime, if you want to change your answers to those 2 questions, or submit answers if you haven’t already, you can still do so up until Thursday.
Good luck!

I knew someone would be waiting here for that point. My money was on Pat, but I'm happy it was you. I admire your tenacity.
I have to work on a post of the game results, but I'll add this Judy-sighting point in for you.

Why thank you! I was thinking it would be Pat as well, either that or Dan! And I hopped on the DIS because the kids are in the basement playing games and I had a minute to myself. I'm nothing if not persistent.

Though I can tell already I did pretty cruddy.
The one question I was most confident on was the dinner show one! And I said Hoop de Doo, sigh. Any chance you misinterpreted my answers?? Oh, and once again, love the charts! Good work!

I could do a whole write-up on the game results. In a way, it's a shame we're not including the last 2 questions (yet) because they separated the men from the boys, so to speak. Without them we have most everyone in a big pack.
Cynthia 2
Dan 2
Rob 1
Kelly 2
Pat 2
Molly 2
Rosie 0 (but did better with the last 2 questions)
Mark 2
Katharina 2
MissLiz 2
Marv 2
Magdalene 2
For the first question, "who was inconsistent between the first two survey questions", almost everyone answered James. Poor kid. It was right of course, and Marlene would have also been accepted. A couple of people answered with Poppy, and that was a good guess -- I could totally see him doing that, but he didn't.
Only Cynthia got the "special meal" question right. For that, I'm giving her a completely meaningless Bonus Point!
On the "male/female; yes/no" question absolutely everyone thought that someone would have answered that with a "no". No one did, so nobody got any points. That was a tough one, no doubt.
So the new point totals are...
Oh wait, the Rules Committee has asked that I award Molly and Marv completely meaningless Bonus Points! for going above and beyond in sucking up lately.
So now, the new point totals are...
Dan - 4 Judy-sighting wins, 2 survey game points
Pat - 2 Judy-sighting wins, 2 survey game points
Molly - 2 Judy-sighting wins, 2 survey game points, 1 Bonus Point!
Magdalene - 1 Judy-sighting win, 2 survey game points
Rosie - 1 bonus question win
Cynthia - 1 bonus question win, 2 survey game points, 1 Bonus Point!
Rob - 1 survey game point
Kelly - 2 survey game points
Mark - 2 survey game points
Katharina - 2 survey game points
MissLiz - 2 survey game points
Marv - 2 survey game points, 1 Bonus Point!

I just think it was funny that you were thinking "It's 8 o'clock...I gotta get on the DIS!
"
You got off to a great start. If only I'd stopped the game after the first two questions...
Just goes to show, you never know.
Ah, no.
Thank you!

Indeed it is!
I have been trying the last 5 minutes to explain why I find it so funny but I just can't. It's driving me nuts.
