The intelligent design results are interesting, although I do have this anecdote that could suggest that many students were confused by the question: As I was "election judging" during my lunch hour, one of my students started to walk away saying, "I quit!" I asked him if he needed help, and started explaining step-by-step how to use the ballot. When I explained to him what that question was asking, he remarked, "Nah, that sounds like more work for me!"
