Is this a captcha where we’re supposed to pick out images of whigs?

Rex because it has the eyes of a warrior.

Are we sure the picture isn't of a few painted potatoes and three wigs?

Brindle Abyssinian looks like 2/3rds of a calico cat, and anything that looks like one is good in my book. Brindle Abyssinian.

Is this an experiment to see what revealing the preference of the person doing the poll does to change the out ome of the poll?

That'd be good. You (or your co-investigators) put similar polls on several comparable but non-overlapping community forums, and see if there's any significant change in results for different ad-hoc statements (or intensities) of preference, either in favour of your localised favourites or And of course control(s) of no such 'deliberate biasing'.

(With enough 'spare' polled-populations you could duplicate, or even diversify to see if opinions on different kinds of kittens, puppies, antelope, etc, exhibited different tendencies to follw the bias.And/or mix up the array to see if "first noticed/last noticed" biases favouritism. Even swap out varieties for other unseen ones. But that's a much larger experiment, beyond a mere Science Fare Project... And aren't you supposed to be just doing things like bicarbonate-of-soda-and-papier-maché-volcanos, anyway? And/or warp-drives/time-machines, and so come to the notice of some Shadowy Government Agency? Well, those two extremes are my only experience of Science Fairs, from my in-dpth analysis of US film and TV shows... ;))

If it's a meta-meta-experiment, looking to see if someone is trying to work out what greater plan you might be trying to examine by, then perhaps you can chalk this down as such a result. Or is that now a successful meta-meta-meta-experimet? I've lost count.


...oh, and I'm torn between the Tricolour (traditional 'illustrated' type of guineapig) and the coronet (I'm sure that's the type a friend of mine had, way back when we were both kids). Let's say I'll plump for the Tricolour, though, if you need just the one answer.

I feel PE White is the most unattractive, not the DE White :I

This was six months ago. I want to know the outcome

I'm also curious as to what this resulted in.

I think the taste-tester died from too much Guinea pig.

I think he did something zoophiliac with the guinea pigs

Well damn, guess you needed a bigger sample size.



Also what did they taste like?

I would suggest as a first step, (and as a useful tip if you're interested in STEM and research type stuff later in your life) not to suggest a hypothesis nor to explain the experimental procedure to the test group. Unless doing so is part of the design for some reason, you're biasing the data.

But definitely peruvian  :D
