Poll magic

Most of you probably have never seen this, but

So imagine it is 3 AM and you visit and are shocked to see that poll – what kind of sneaky spy technique allowed me to find out you are awake at 3 AM?

Theories?

    I would point to the glaringly obvious one. If I am answering the poll then I am awake. However, you can be sneaky and have some way of determining every time we come visit your site and what we read, or even the stations we pick to listen. Similar to the old counters and to the auto response to the sender of emails. Or maybe you are devious and hacked into our cameras attached to our desktops. But all that would entail that you are awake also.

      No need to overthink it 😉 This particular poll has a time of day range, so it only shows up in the middle of the night – complicated of course by multiple time zones. So anyone seeing the poll is obviously awake, at least partially.

      One of the poll challenges is never being quite sure if people get the joke and are playing along, or are truly shocked by the answer 😉
