Long time no see, fourmspam!
My final project four the class 13.034 “Introduction to Intermediate Studies” is to create a survey on Google Fourms and donate boba to a bunch of strangers. So I’m killing two birds with one stone and giving boba to people who fill out my form! I also just, like, really want to know your thoughts on topics such as apples, Grand Theft Auto III, what it’s like to be an MIT student, fourier transfourms, and the 20th century artist Claude Picasso. If you have the time to help a struggling supersenior out:

To give you an incentive, I’ll buy boba four the first 20 people who fill out this form. Maybe even more than 20, if I find the money. We’ll make responses public (but anonymized) if we get more than 120,000 submissions.

HEIOBDRORRIM KSRPFAQM B THANK YOU !!!
It may be hard to believe, but I received over 120,000 responses to the survey I sent a few weeks back!! Now I’m going to pass 13.034. Thank you so much to each of you who took the time to fill it out, as well as to the many of you who must’ve shared this with dozens of friends, family, and beyond. I feel very fortunate to have succeeded where so many other survey-based final projects have failed, having gathered what I can only imagine must be statistically significant results.

As a consequence of your incredible generosity, all the responses I got managed to crash google forms, set my laptop on fire, almost trap me in a time loop, and cause the deaths of about 46 million turkeys. Long story short, I got out of it alive, but lost a bunch of the data. I managed to recover 98% of the form responses though! You can find them here:

Truly yours,
Wary “bot farmed” Dude
mit is like lemons
it’s, like, your brain “knows” what you’re getting into
but you yourself don’t really know until you take a bite
your lips pucker, your teeth ache, you smell citrus in your sleep
raw and intense and overwhelming, so much so
that sometimes it feels like maybe you just want the taste gone
that sometimes it feels like there’s only one option 4
u to choose, just keep grinding lectures and psets and research projects
but i think there’s more that we should be able
TODO
not just for ourselves, but for each other
build a battery, light the rind on fire, polish iron bars
make your friends lemonade
you can be the change you want to see in the world
and, like, I think that’s what makes this place beautiful, you know?

If you tried filling out the form, you might have discovered that it was a little tricky. The solution is:
- select “no” to the boba question, since that’s your only option forward
- let Doc Brown take you back in time to the boba question
- edit your answer for the boba question to “yes”
- hit the “back” button on the boba question, taking you back to Doc Brown
- now that you’ve said “yes” to boba, tell Doc Brown you want to submit the form as is.
