Remember this headline from mid 2011? “Are Internet Explorer users dumb?” Although this story was picked up by major media outlets, it later turned out to be a bogus survey by a flimsy company. On the Choice of Browser and Numerical Intelligence, calcudoku.org has done the work! We analyzed usage data of the www.calcudoku.org number puzzle website for the years 2010 and 2011, consisting of over 1 million solved puzzles, attempting to determine the numerical intelligence of users of Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, and Chrome (insufficient data was available for users of other browsers.) WHY I LOVE THIS: they saw the challenge through with the data they had laying around.
