Neat!, I was hoping I would get that one. I think I got this one too. It irks me though that some people are still cheating and I had to go out of my way to avoid those links.

SLUSHIEnator - I readed whole comments and I didn't found message 'it's not fair' or anything, some people (including me) just are bad because they didn't got this right.

dont get it how some ppl got it wrong, when it was so easy; this one's answer IS surprising. my friend forgot to answer to the last one so i gave her the prize since i didnt like it much..and she was happy.
what can one do with cold feet? lol

You mean I guessed at it and it was RIGHT? falls over

I agree with hermit and Aurianna. You have to search the right thing up. Although I see the other's point of view too; but at the end of the day, if there were 2400 winners, than it was THEM who did something wrong, not Debi being 'unfair'. My advice is: Get over it. If you want the prize so bad go buy it :/

And yay another easy trivia! Hopes the feet are wearable xD I'm shocked at the answer o.o;

Yay, thanks for a fun trivia DebbieLee

and hehe I knew this trivia without looking it up.. Well at least I hope I'm right

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i googled "statistics pet owners give Valentines gifts to pets" and i got back several that i could see without going any further, they all gave the exact same number ... 3%

if you didn't get that, you must have googled the wrong query (misinterpreting the trivia perhaps) - because upon further inspection (given the correct base of inquiry), they ALL reached the same number.

in any case - this new one seems a tad problematic for me, but I'll give it a whirl

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I googled the last question (copy and paste exactly as asked) and the stats on the first 4 pages of links was 3%. So while there were other possible answers, it seemed pretty obvious. The new one, I guessed, then looked up to confirm. Shame on whoever posted it to Yahoo anwers.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh, I found right answer for last Trivia when I was searching for the new one I'll buy the Puppy later, for now I got this one ^^.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ah, I see. Once again, I'm just being a picky snot. xD

Those cold feet are adorable and I need them, so excuse me while I rack my tired brains trying to figure this one out. Curse ye folk who find the answer so easily. fist shake

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think that receives refers back to group, which is singular, in the sense of a group, so eliminate the of people, and you get which group receives. Which people receive, without the group, would be correct, I believe, but if I had just put which people, I was afraid that I might get nationality based answers.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow. Just wow. Debi is giving us trivia with wonderful prizes, with questions that are all slam dunks, and some people are saying it's "not fair?" The key to answering most of these trivia is two-fold. 1) Read the question carefully so you know exactly what you're looking for. 2) When you find the possible answer, read the context carefully so you know what you've found.
17.2% of valentines celebrators != pet owners. Valentine's celebrators who are 6% more likely to give != pet owners. A bunch of percentages added together... doesn't even equal proper math. Go read up on weighted averages. For anyone who is confused as to why 17.2, 6 or 16 were not the right answers, I've totally tooled it up and typed a detailed analysis on my profile.

And I do not believe the statistic was arbitrary. It came from the APPMA.

ANYWAY... I think I got the new one right. I was very interested with the answer too. Made me think.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I hate to be so picky, but- ok no, I don't. Now I'm not quite sure, but wouldn't "receive" rather than "receives" be more grammatically correct? For example, you wouldn't say "Bob and Jerry receives more Valentines." You would say "Bob and Jerry receive more Valentines." Receives just doesn't sound quite right somehow. It's quite possible I'm wrong though.

It's not actually a big deal, I'm just a wee bit of a grammar freak, so best just to ignore me altogether really. shuffles away

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, I wasn't expecting 3 to be the right answer. lol It was the only number I could find, so, I'm glad it was right.

This one's pretty easy. Found it. I hope it was right this time as well. lol I love the item.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I put 16 =/ I found page when everything was writed, just needed to add them Crap, I really want this puppy.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

:/ I'm not seeing the confusion on the last one though. If you Googled "give valentine's day gifts to their pets", in quotes, every result on the page said 3.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I see I've stumbled into the sore losers club. I feel for you Debi.

Funny you mention that. I Googled the question for this trivia, and the first result was a direct copy/paste from the Trivia page into Yahoo! Answers.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

No, actually, they don't, not if you read the question specifically as stated. I've already explained all of the supposed other correct answers on the last one. To my knowledge, just logically even, there is only one correct answer to the current one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Debi, I'm sorry, but I think that your choice of trivias has been poor with these non-subeta-related ones. Lovespoons was okay. The other have a variety of answers found at a variety of sources. Anyone could post a random statistic to a blog and then say that they found it on the web. You should probably pick more specific, less open-ended trivias.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh! And I can't link to the sites just yet because they also give the answer to the current Trivia on most of them, I believe.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Also, the 17 per cent is including those who purchase valentine cards for their pets, which are also not gifts. (It's odd, but I do have relatives who do it, so I know it's done XD)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. "Spending money on a pet" is not buying a pet an actual gift. You could be getting the pet groomed, getting it special food, even getting it dyed, taking it to a fast food drive thru, etc. All of the source sites specifically said the percentage of pet owners who purchase an actual gift for their pets, not just spend money on them, spend the day with them, etc. Also, there are several flaws in the add it up and get 16 per cent site; it doesn't say that anyone except dog owners give an actual gift per se, it doesn't include a wide number of pets, such as horses/ponies, pot bellied pigs, etc., and I think that, in order to get the total percentage, you'd have to divide the 16 by 4 anyway. I stated several times to use the most commonly found number, which is 3, in fact, I didn't find any other percentage at all except 3, and almost as many people won this Trivia as the last, which means that almost 2400 people all found the same percentage. It wasn't subjective; it was stated on a huge majority of sites.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree with Luxe.

Theres just no way you can pull a percentage from something when so many places are going to have different types of sources. BAH.

I've always hated math anyways.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"17.2 percent of Valentine's Day celebrators plan to spend money on a pet."

The question asked for the percent of pet owners who would give valentine's gifts to their pets.

The question asked for a percentage of pet owners, whereas the 17% does not include the pet owners that don't celebrate Valentine's day.

As far as the 60% stat, I think I saw that too, but it was based in British Columbia.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sorry, Debi, but may I request that you give us a link to your source for the last Trivia? Because I see it listed on some Trivia sites but with nothing backing them up, whereas there are several links I have found citing that 17.2%

17.2%
17.2%
17%
Adds up to 16%

Not to mention those that I found that weren't anywhere close.
6%

Can we please avoid trivias with such subjective answers as "approximately", "most", "least", etc? It's only natural for these answers to vary according to the surveying agency and demographic targeted.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Don't get too used to it; back to normal tomorrow. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I probably got this one wrong, but... xD

This reminds me of the Trivia from the old days, when they were rarely Subeta related.

Whooohoo! x3
All of these non-Subeta related questions rule. o.o I actually get them right! XD

This is why I love search engines. P: I think I have this one down, too.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

*googled ^^;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I goggled the last one and the first page had a high number and then 3 all the way down it. I really don't see how anyone could miss it. x_o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah. A lot of people treat their pets special today, but not necessarily give them a gift. I gave my kitty some chicken pieces and some corn today c; she loves it~

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh blaaast! I neeeeded the I Love You Puppy, too.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh Noes Here comes the vetching. Sorry but I must protest this one. There were just too many right answers and that puppy was TOO CUTE!!! I ish sad.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Around 60 per cent is the number who spend/share Valentine's Day with their pets, not that buy them actual gifts. I spent today with my five dogs, and I did give them some of my steak, but I did NOT buy them gifts! XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

3%? from what source? i got a source that said 60%! >

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh didn't realize the post with the winners. Meep. @-@

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And I deleted it, Boysen. Posting just the word Wrong on every Trivia just to get the first post is spamming. I didn't warn for it, I just deleted it.

Love the Puppy...thanks.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yes. it was 3 because it was specifically the percentage of pet owners who give their pets gifts.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by
