YAY!!! :-) A new box in my state! :-)



Ok, so how shall we divide the counties? I know some have suggested
alphabetically, others may prefer geographically. How many counties do
you want to include in the question?

Perhaps, we should ask if the the box is "in or East of Worcester
County". This would divide the state in half. Any thoughts?

I thought about that too..using Worcester co. as the dividing line, and
asking either E or W (inclusive of) that county.



Anyone else with thoughts?

Both are very intelligent questions to ask that would produce the desired results. That being a reduction of the remaining population by approximately 50%. The important thing in this thread is that these are two good examples of the type of question that should be asked.

However, I wouldn't want anyone to assume the question is going to be asked by one person by coming to a concensus on this board. If that happens and the question selection process is truely random, then there would be a better chance for the "Is the box blue" question to be selected.
