For that last poll. Tbh part of why I typically can manage to pick the least picked in a relatively random spread of answers (especially relevant when there are actually no differences between the answers) is that it always tends to follow a pattern on here
It's like. If you turn your screen so the left of the poll is on the bottom. It's always a right-skewed bell curve. Bell curve is relatively self explanatory in that random choices tend to fall within a bell curve pattern, but the right skew I believe can be attributed to the fact that when people are trying to Randomly Pick something on here, they don't want to pick what they first see. They scroll down, first. So more people vote for lower down on the poll.
So for that last poll. My line of thought was "okay, there's no true way to guess what's the best choice by value alone bc they're all relatively innocuous hiding spots, so I'll go by the right skewed bell curve idea, which means the upper options will have less choices". And from there, I looked at the upper options and picked the one that seemed like the most obvious hiding spot (which people naturally gravitate away from in hide and seek) (which you might also argue that more people would pick it because it's obvious, but if enough people think That then it goes back to not being picked much)
And what do you know ! It's not a bell curve really, but it Does skew towards the bottom. And I sure did pick the one that was least picked :]
