According to the percentages listed just now, 28 people answered the first part and 29 people answered the second part.
So if you don't vote in the radio-button poll then you don't affect the percentages in any way. I suppose this might be the appropriate way to do the calculation. I suspect this may also apply to the ticky-box poll, but I'm much less certain that that's the right way to compute the result (because `none of the above' may well be a valid answer).
Yeah, my reasoning was similar - a person can be imperial, although these days of democracy that's quite rare, but metric? nah. I suppose whoever it was that got their arm to become the standard cubit was metric. And there's something measured by the pace or foot-length of Heracles, but that was all a long time ago. I'll just stop wittering now.

Is there any way to offload the entire poll dataset and manipulated it yourself in comprehensible ways, I wonder?
