Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

How about the same poll but with the question reversed:

"unary" wrong 3 times out of 5 (Score:1)

Of the 5 choices that are listed as unary operators, only 2 really are unary operators.

The operators := and // are binary operators.

The meta-operator ^ is not an operator (a verb) at all. It modifies an operator to change its meaning (i.e. an adverb). It can be used to modify either binary or unary operators.

  I plead ignorance. I haven't paid much attention to Perl 6, and trusted what someone else told me. :-)
