Yes ... the moment you've all been waiting for! Thanks to everyone who
took part.
Before I announce, I feel duty-bound to emphasise that these data are
probably not in any way useful ... the sample is very skewed and an amount
of interpretation was required in getting the 'results' as most people
gave more than one answer.
60 people replied.
37 said they would guess first. Average (mean) number of guesses was 3;
range between 2-6.
21 said that they would search first. Undisputed favourite search engine
is Google.
2 said that they would use promotional materials if they were to hand.
No-one said they would seek out paper ... they would only use it if to
hand.
No-one mentioned any other means.
So ... who's going to survey the non computer literate public ...?
