MetaChat is an informal place for MeFites to touch base and post, discuss and
chatter about topics that may not belong on MetaFilter. Questions? Check the FAQ. Please note: This is important.
When trying to find appropriate "matches" for you on OKCupid you answer questions. The more questions you answer, theoretically, the more likely a suitable "match" for you will be found.
One of those questions is the earth/sun size question.
It's interesting how they chose the more dramatic graph of 'folks who got the answer wrong' rather than the less-dramatic 90% vs. 95% of 'folks who got the answer right.'
The occasional implied penis joke is fine, but perhaps it should not be at the expense of ignoring the gender disparity and how that's probably related to education. I'd be interested in seeing stats candy on OK Cupid on education.
