100 people surveyed by Family Feud were asked to name a phrase--a phrase--that contains the word "snow."
When it came time for Junior to give his answer during the final round, he said, "Let it snow." Not bad. J. Peterman then revealed that only 3 of the people surveyed felt the same way. It was Junior's sister's turn. She responded to this question by saying, "Snowflake." 13 people agreed, and this turned out to be the second most popular answer. The first--with 14 responses--was "Snowball."
Unless these single words are used in an inquisitive or exclamatory way--Snowflake? Snowball!--how can they be classified as phrases? It's also frightening to think how varied the responses were, considering the first and second most popular answers only amounted to 14 and 13 matches, respectively.
100 people were surveyed; how many misunderstood the question?
