It could probably avoid some > post-survey correction. Unfortunately Survs.com do not offer pre-made dropdowns for countries. It offers a way to provide answers for a question by copy'n'paste of a plai= n text file, for example with list of countries. Coming up with correct list of countries is not easy, as I wrote: JN> Survs.com do not offer list of countries as a pre-defined drop-down JN> list (select, with search), and it looks like it is not as easy as JN> I thought (though I could push responsibility to Locale::Country ;-): JN> JN> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states JN> JN> This question originally read "What country are you from?"

Though perhaps I make it harder that it really is: $ perl -MLocale::Country -e 'print join "\n", all_country_names();' > 3. The comment: Both question "3.

Fixed question numbers, removed unnecessary and not useful note about "weighted average". > OK, that's it from me! Thanks! Regards, --=20 Jakub Nar=C4=99bski
