Wow, wasn't expecting to win this. I don't even really read the US Politics megathreads. Thanks, PSL!

-Size of circle = how well you did
-Posters sharing responses are linked, shorter links = more shared responses*
-Color corresponds to a unidimensional scaling of the response concordance matrix (basically, slightly different way of looking at the same question, though with just one dimension you dump most of the info.). It's a borderline arbitrary way to put some color in there but generally similar colors = similar responses. I chose the most beautiful colors in creation to create the most pleasing graph, you're welcome.

Taking a look at this I think the data is actually more "clumpy" from the perspective of the questions themselves (i.e. each circle would be a question). I'll do that for next sheep game.

*These were pruned so each poster lost most of their longer links (unless it linked to a poster for whom it was one of their shorter links). If you had a ton of links but they were all the same super-long length (corn in the bible), you lost all your links.

Thanks for this pangstrom! It's fun to drag one of the bigger circles into the corner, let it go, and then watch it slingshot back into the cloud.

Thanks for doing this, psl. My favorite answers were Zizek for the sandal tattoo and Garfield for the tiger. Really whiffed on a few myself, though I thought Tunney for the google tat was going to be a big scorer.

Sure, as long as results are presented the same way it shouldn't take long. Will do it tonight.
