I finally had a few moments to sit down with the survey data, and I found some interesting results! I present to you the Days That End in Y Index, which is more for fun that usefulness:
- 34: Number of valid survey responses
- 3: Number of invalid responses (duplicate, blank, foreign language spam)
- 7: Number of female respondents; I salute you!
- 30: Approximate number of drinks consumed by me during survey period (Jan. 4-20)
- 30: Average age of respondents
- 273: Years of drinking experience (assuming starting age of 21)
- 9: Number of survey contest winners
- 4: Number of prizes still unclaimed
- 71: Percentage of people who directly visit website
- 0: Number of people who checked every drink for “What drinks interest you most?”
- 4: Number of people who checked all but one
- 0: Number of useful responses for question #6; argh, I had a bug in my survey!
- 34: Number of people who think this site is OK or the best ever. (I still would’ve sent you a prize if you’d said it sucked!)
- 6: Number of respondents who’d like me to find a blogging partner
- 3: Number of people whom I’ve met in real life who responded
- 0: Number of significant others who responded to survey
- 1: Number of death threats conditional on sending Bacardi surfboard
- 1: Number of respondents concerned I have a drinking problem
Also, if you are a winner and you have not yet responded to my email, then please do so ASAP, so I can ship these prizes to you! I’ll send out another less-spammy reminder in about a week. Another week later with no response, and your prize goes to someone else! This surfboard has got to leave my office!
Update: Aha! I just remembered that I also emailed survey responses to myself, so I have all the answers for question #6. Whew!

Wow, so even with about 1 in 4 odds, I didn’t win! Seriously though, congratulations on a year of blogging! Plus, you know that although you only had 34 or so entries, you’re bound to have at least as many lazy bums who never post a blog comment.

They were pretty good odds! There’s always a chance someone won’t get back to me. Cross your fingers.
