Based on what I could see of the graphs after each question, it seemed like a lot of people were playing. It's not as deeply "social" as starting a line of communication between people, but it still was definitely a sign of the times in my eyes. I wonder if they display who is gets the most questions right... "Dammit, bitch in 25D HAS to be a bot!!"

"I can’t help but wonder if first class got their own exclusive chat room, with rich text formatting and emoticons enabled." Hilarious post.
