Poll: How many of the mouseovers in SFAOOCQ XXXIX did you find before reading this?

I do mouseovers quite often, as I find them to be a very useful way to insert additional comments and thoughts without disrupting the flow of a post or other text. (This sounds familiar...almost like I've said it before?) I was wondering how many people find them, as the idea is for most of you to, not just an elite few. Unfortunately, the poll results leaned toward the "elite few" model:

"Wait, you do mouseovers?" got an entire quarter of you.

"None, but I often find others" gathered 16%.

"Just one," fittingly got just one vote: 8%.

Another quarter went to "A resounding two."

No one picked "Three...getting better."

"Four, decent" got another 8%.

"Five, not bad!" got 16%.

Finally, not a single person said, "All Six! Go me!" Good.

You see, in addition to investigating how many people found the mouseovers, I also tried a little mind game. Take a look at this video we watched in ToK2. I find the whole thing fascinating, but it's pretty lengthy, so if you don't have the time just stick to 4:20 to 6:30.


The basic idea is that when given the chance to cheat, a lot of people will cheat a little bit. They won't try to get away with as much as possible, but rather increase their "score" by a small enough amount so as not to tamper with their idea of being a righteous person. SFAOOCQ XXXIX had only four mouseovers, and true to the theory no one cheated as much as possible, preferring when they did cheat to do so in smaller increments. Congratulations Mr. Ariely, you got us this time.
