In a last minute scramble to think of a survey question I came up with these two questions. Probably not the most insightful questions to ask an eager crowd of people, but here it is.
We can see that most people prefer Airplane or Car to travel 500 miles and that people check their email quite frequently during the day. Although, I hope they aren't checking this email on a plane (unless it’s the free wifi on board) or while their driving a car.
Some students (and post docs) were being a little humours when they wrote teleportation or preferred mode to travel 500 miles being a razor scooter. While I guess a lack of creativity when asking the questions, leads to a lack of creativity when analyzing the data...
