Vote #601
Question:
All week I've been suffering with that most crippling of illnesses that only 50% of the world's population will know. Yes, the dreaded man flu. The most painful experience ever bestowed on a human being and yet we soldier on. Child birth has nothing compared to the symptoms of man flu. Anyway, while going to pick up William from school, I managed to cough and sneeze at the same time. Something I didn't think was possible. It makes a hell of a mess, I'll tell you that for nothing. Have you ever coughed and sneezed at the same time?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (80%)
- No (20%)
Pre-Result Discussion
I bet the woman who was sat in front of us still remembers.
Analysis:
And here was me thinking I'd just found a new craze that I could get the kids to video and put on YouTube. Oh well, at least I didn't have a mouthful of Sprite like Mr O, but it still made a bit of a mess.

Vote #602
Question:
I probably should have set this question last week, but the cough/sneeze thing was top of mind. Anyway, the prior weekend I took William to his soccer game. Can you guess what the score was?
Results:
11-0 was the clear winner with 50% of the votes from the following selection:
- 1-0 (0%)
- 2-0 (0%)
- 3-0 (0%)
- 4-0 (0%)
- 5-0 (25%)
- 7-0 (0%)
- 10-0 (0%)
- 11-0 (50%)
- 12-0 (0%)
- 15-0 (25%)
Analysis:
It was indeed an 11-0 loss. When he came off the pitch I commented that I thought it was a close game. Then clarified that I meant close to being the worst game I'd ever seen. Obviously my pep talk sunk in as there was significant improvement this weekend. They only lost 7-0.

Vote #603
Question:
With all the conspiracy theories running around, it's hard to know who you can trust. Talk about Russians rigging elections across the globe .... wait, what? .... the Russians are messing with votes. Do you think the Russians are influencing the EastBayRag weekly votes?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
First the vote question is sabotaged. Then the computer is hacked and the hard drive fried. Next there's over 10,000 votes. Last I get a call from Vladimir to assure me that neither he, nor anyone from his country have ever interfered with the Eastbayrag vote. Conclusive evidence then that the Russians have not messed with this vote.

Question:
It appears there's a new quest or event in pokemon go every other day. Monday sees the release of shiny Latios. What day will I catch my first shiny latios?
Results:
Monday and Tuesday tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Monday (50%)
- Tuesday (50%)
- Wednesday (0%)
- Thursday (0%)
- Friday (0%)
- Saturday (0%)
- Sunday (0%)
Analysis:
Everyone thinking it would be done and dusted before the start. Actually didn't get shiny Latios until Saturday. After hundreds of raids, only got one. My guess is Niantic turned down the shiny rate and will release both Latias and Latios again so those who didn't get one have to spend more money to go back out and try and get it again. Could be wrong, but that's what they did with Kyogre and Groudon.

Question:
Wasn't sure if I could get out and do the track day this coming Friday, so didn't book it and now it's sold out. I've asked to go on the wait list. Will I get to drive Thunderhill this Friday?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (0%)
- No (100%)
Analysis:
A unanimous vote of no and everyone was correct. I did not get the message to say a spot had freed up, so I was not able to go. :(

Vote #606
Question:
Invites for the regional Pokemon PvP tournaments go out this week. I was undefeated over three tournaments so far, but did not have such a good result today. Technically ended up third, but I lost a couple of games. I think invites will go out to the top 2,500 players in the world and I'm currently at 1,025. Down from 625 when rankings came out. Sadly it looks like it's more about doing as many tournaments as you can as opposed to the number that you win and I don't have the ability to do anymore before the invites are released. Will I get an invite to the Pokemon PvP regionals?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (60%)
- No (40%)
Analysis:
Not everyone has faith in The Rag, but I did indeed get an invite to the regionals. Now, the bad news is that I can't make the dates of the ones nearby and am going to need to drive three and a half hours to get to the tournament I've registered for. Hmmm

Question:
Looking into culinary things, I ask is a hotdog a sandwich?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
A 50/50 tie from a voting perspective which means that 50% of the people out there are wrong. A hotdog is indeed a sandwich as is a burger. A sandwich is defined as two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between.

Vote #608
Question:
Interesting to think that Leicester won the premier league with 81 points and that 81 points being enough to get 10 points clear of second place Arsenal. How would you feel if you got 97 points in a future season and only came second?
Results:
Mr O was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Bad (0%)
- Really bad (0%)
- Upset (0%)
- Really upset (0%)
- Really bad and upset (0%)
- Really bad, upset, angry disappointed (0%)
- Mr O (100%)
Analysis:
I thought I'd at least get a comment from this vote, but no. To be honest, it's a bit of a harsh vote question as you have to feel for the Liverpool fans. Pretty much any other year and they would have done enough to take the title, but it just wasn't to be. It is interesting to see them back fighting for the title though and maybe next year?

Vote #609
Question:
Will I win my pokemon go regional tournament this coming Sunday?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
Thank you to those of you that gave me the support, but unfortunately the person who voted no was correct. I didn't win my regional tournament. I did really enjoy it thought, which I find surprising as I would have thought I'd have to win to enjoy it, but was really interesting to go somewhere different and meet a bunch of new people.
