I’ve considered do a survey like this before, but never had the means to do it. The question is: Yes or No?
I predict most people would say yes, it being human nature to take the easiest path. Of course, since many of you here are not… how can I say this… sane, I have no idea what the result will be.
I am going to pick none of your answers, I will find my own path!
Also, even though this poll seems kinda stupid, when you think about it, it has a very interesting psycological meaning. Since you said “yes is easier” you wonder if people won’t just pick no because you said that, or if they will because you did. Be cool if the motivation behind each yes/no answer was laid out in detail.
Personally, I think it is human nature to take the easiest way possible. Nobody really likes to do things the hard way. Hell, if you had a calculator in front of you, would you use that or use mental math/paper and pencil?
If people have a difficult solution, they’ll always try to take the easy way out, such as quitting or running away from the problem. It’s just human nature to take the easy route. At least that is what I think. Of course, there are exceptions.

Yes, I’ve done that before, it was to prove a point to some of my classmates that you didn’t have to have a calculator to do math homework.
I take the hard way all the time, since it builds up my reputation. I figure, when a really hard job comes around that no one else will wAnt to do, I’ll do it. For a good profit.
In my experience, this sort of question usually has a joke hidden within it, which will result in the person who is being asked on the end of some childish and inane joke after an affirmative answer. So I said ‘no’, because of my extreme lack of trust in vague and obscure questions ^^
