World Problem Polls (#DingleDilemma)

Once upon a time there was a small distillery in Speyside distilling some lovely whisky which went by the same Glen Moray. In 2019 their Master Distiller decided he was working too hard and needed a change.... he retired to the west coast of Ireland.




His equally hard working wife took the job of Master Distiller at a nearby distillery by the name of Dingle.



Our now ex-Master Distiller, in his retirement, has a lot of time on his hands so gets his grey matter working by spending all week thinking about weighty world problems and possible solutions, then on a Saturday he'd post a twitter poll asking similar "world thinkers" for their opinions.





Unfortunately in April 2023 Musk decided that Graham couldn't be more famous that him so stopped people who didn't pay the monthly subscription for their blue tick from voting in polls. Obviously most of us would rather spend our money on whisky, so after 152 polls and 33,715 votes, they sadly stopped.


Over time a huge repository of solutions has accumulated, it's been collected in a spreadsheet which you can access here:



Some of the key results are shown below:







I'm sure there are a lot more 'Stats' we can glean from this data - please let me know if you have any thoughts!

Graham's challenge:




He has been asked to give up and start distilling again but the poll said no:
