What's the best way to understand numbers?

This is a 7-minute experiment to see if stats – shown in different ways – can be more memorable. You'll be shown 10 stats about the world, then given a quick, anonymous survey. At the end of January, I'll analyze the results, and we'll know what makes data stick!

update jan 31: results are in!

And now, a quick (5 min) anonymous survey!

You were in the control group. You were in the experimental group. This experiment was designed to see if being asked to predict a statistic before seeing it (experimental) is better for memory than simply being shown the statistic (control).

To see what the other group saw: play experimental play control

If you'd like to see this experiment's results when it's out (end of Jan 2019), you can follow my blog or Twitter. I was inspired by New York Times' You Draw It, and all stats came from Our World In Data.
