Pipe Smoker Survey 2010

[ernest]

10 minutes.

That was kind of fun! 10 minutes

10 min. But there needs to be an option of watching TV/Movies in the "What do you do while smoking your pipe" section. Over the last month, my wife said I could smoke anywhere in the house at anytime and as a reasult my reading time dropped while my NetFlix streaming increased.

Watch TV/Movies has been added. Thanks for the input menckenite.
I'm glad it is only taking 10 minutes to complete. I must be slow.
The professions portion was pre-populated by the software. I can edit it, but I'm not sure how many more funeral directors we will get and we missed the best one being counted already.
Eh, what the heck, I am adding Funeral Director and Purchasing Manager.

Cool!

It took me about 10 minutes..., maybe less. Considering that it was

a multiple choice format, it covered the topic(s) well, with few omissions

and points of ambiguity. It will be good to see the results.

Here's some preliminary info after 340 responses.
Map of areas responded from.

These charts show the top responses, not all the responses. After the top answers, then everything else goes into "other" on these "at a glance" reports.

Kevin you must be telepathic,

I was just wondering what the stats looked like after one day.
I'm impressed with the number of respondents, and their world wide distribution, from Hawaii to Sydney - west to east.
Please... Keep us posted.

I love statistics.
Edit: Let me clarify... I love legitimate statistics... Because 86.7% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Thanks for the Stats and adding Funeral Directors. I am intrested in how many smoke pipes. I know of one other but my grandfather is like internet what?? All in all it was a fun survey and I am glad you have tons of responses so far.

I can't wait to see more data! I'm curious to see how many pipe smokers Oregon nets.

 

[igloo]

5 min and now my finger hurts .

 

[mlaug]

No problem, igloo, we've got a funeral director if it goes bad.

 

[collindow]

So...how did it all come out in the end? The preliminary stuff was great, but I want more! Or, as the internet likes to put it, MOAR.

Ugh. Still working on it. All the data is compiled, but I think the reports that are created by the statistical software look crappy.
I wanted it to be a very nice glossy looking report to give to the advertisers, so I started recreating it by hand in a nice format. After 3 hours of work, I was only on question 5, and that was back around Christmas, and then I was deep into into creating LuxuryTobacccoReviews.com, and all kinds of other stuff.

 

[admin]

Btw, there about 50 question, so were looking at about 30 hours of work to make the report the way I want it to be. Aside from re-creating the charts and graphs by hand, I am also adding editorial text that gives meaning to the data.

 

[collindow]

Ha ha, all right. I know how it is with stats, I recently took a class on crime statistics...interesting but tedious and LONG.

 

[winton]

Closed already? I was looking forward to the survey.
