    Could be a rounding error (there are a lot of entries, many with low numbers of votes),

    The part that baffles me is that you obviously wanted to split it into men and women (which is fine), but you've tallied the percentages as one big poll,

    Wouldn't it be better to split it into two poll questions (one for men and one for women) so that the percentages are more helpful?

    It is a rounding error.

    As for the men and women split - yes its exactly what we want. Our software wasn't built that way though - the techies are hacking it so it should show that result soon.

    An age breakdown would have made it more complicated but more interesting to me.

    can't decide how i feel about cosmetic surgery - on the one hand, i would never pay someone to inject me with botulinum toxin - it can be fatal if it gets into your blood stream. on the other hand i'm seriosuly considering laser eye surgery as i can't bear the faff of contact lenses, plus i think the surgery would cost less in the long run than replacing contacts, and i'm too vain to wear glasses!
