    That was weird.

    It's funny, maybe it was my imagination, but I noticed people who submitted in close proximity in terms of time, tended to pick more of the same answers; a couple of people who live in the same county and submitted within the same time frame picked quite similar answers.

    Maybe my imagination...or perhaps finally proof of telepathy!

    hahaha, my logic for many questions was very basic:
    County town: I leave in Meath, so Navan
    Premier League team: I am an Arsenal fan!
    Beatles Song: I Want to Hold Your hand, one of my favourites
    and so on. . .
