The following question was presented:

Given the poor weather this weekend, I've spent a lot of time inside. I've been messing around with the Google Maps API (application programming interface) in order to enable me to create my own maps from trips I've been on. The latest photo page shows the fruits of my labor (which is actually a series of ripping off the work that others have done before me). Anyway, all this means that I don't have a vote question and when I asked Karen for inspiration, she asked me how many potatoes I wanted with dinner. Given that I already know the answer to this, I will ask the question - how many potatoes do I want with my dinner next Sunday?

Interesting question this as it leads to all sorts of dilemmas - what defines a potato? Is a roast potato a potato or half a potato? What happens if we have mashed potatoes? If I “have fries with that” do I need to piece them back together to see how many whole potatoes they come from? Time for another beer I think.

Analysis:

If I'd have thought about this, I'd have realized that it was a pretty pointless question. I'm just about to head out on a trip to Houston and I don't get in until late. Dinner will consist of a sandwich in my room around midnight. Therefore 0 would have been the correct answer.
