Am I crazy/dumb or is the chart super confusing? I really had to stare at it to figure out how to read it, and I'm still just guessing the vertical scale is percent of the whole that think each item is a car.

But also I got 11% here.

I agree. This has to be the worst, most unintentionally confusing graph I've ever seen. And I don't solely blame this website because many people make this mistake too: For crying out loud, how can you make the simple mistake of not labeling your axis? People online who make graphs—stop not labeling your axes! It's the whole point of the graph!

And 11%, why is everyone getting 11%? Is it a backend error? Who knows! If that 11% had a label, it would be easier for us to know whether it's working as intended or not.

  • I answered that 4 were vehicles (contra OP, I included the tank), and still got 11%. I think there must be some issue with the calculation.

I got 11% - did anyone not get 11%?

I also couldn't see two different colors on my dimmed phone display until I zoomed way in. I'm not even colorblind.

Given that “kite” is the lowest and “Honda civic” is the highest, I’m assuming the bar chart shows % of people who classified it as a violation, regardless of color. For me, the last three are red, and they are also the only ones above 50%. To me that means I agreed with the majority 100% of the time.

But it says I had 11% agreement with the majority.
