Jan 25 Aquarius if it helps with the poll (?)

If we arrange the signs in a circle and we represent the number of votes as the magnitude of vectors spaced by 30 degrees, it should certainly be possible to determine a mean vector, which presumably would point somewhere between Aquarius and Cancer. It is possible it would land on the sign that received the least number of votes.
What's really nice, is that if there's a math error and the vector ends up pointing in the wrong direction, it is extremely unlikely that any harmful consequences or property damage will result

The poster seems to think not. Maybe he/she is a mystic...
The poster is considering whether the next poll should be about the average sense of humour of an RFF member

Better- a pole to see who is the biggest Wet Blanket.

Well, no clue about "average", but Pisces here.

The best camera is one that still works!
That graph has formed a very interesting pattern with the two peaks at aquarius and cancer!

I'm glad you find it interesting. But, you know, the differences among the signs are really very small. They are not peaks. They are really just small variations, attributable to the small sample size. As my Experimental Psychology prof. used to say, when students thought they saw meaning in small random variation: "Looking for order in randomness?"

The Siamese are very particular on the day they are born...... each day is assigned a color..... me, I'm born on Tuesday so my birth color is pink...... there are even some people there who colour coded their daily attire, from monday..... yellow - pink - green - orange - blue - purple - red.
.... so could this be another poll idea?
The ladies at the dental clinic coordinate colors on different days during the week, too, though not necessarily those particular colors.

That's because aquarius and cancer are known to be predisposed to polls ... and some pisces check the wrong box on purpose

Or the bimodal data could show the proclivity of mating during the Fall and Spring.

Well you could see it that way ... but then most Virgo's are analytical

In the spirit of the recent polls asking RFF members for their objective and subjective ages, here's the logical followup asking them for their zodiacal sign.
Is there a correlation between camera preferences and the zodiac? Is there, for example, a preference of rangefinder users born under Sagittarius? Do film users tend towards Virgo and Aquarius, while digital users prefer Cancer?
Now you too can be no longer part of the problem, but part of the answers to these pressing questions
Look at all the responses to this poll. I think this make you the Poll master.

As expected fairly low standard deviation...

Another problem with Zodiac hic (human/star-interactions-calculator) is the different size of the star signs. Nevertheless is the period of each sign (in this case thirteen) equally distributed over the time of earth rotation around the closest star. Libra is a very small sign and should only have around seven days of influence before scorpio takes over. And the neglected Ophiuchus is much bigger and should have a much longer period than a month.
That is not a problem for the deductive minded mythologists. Ignorance is the bliss of the speculative mind.
