Recently, I donated blood and answered a questionnaire at home beforehand as usual. After the normal questionnaire, there were several questions related to a research study the organization (Vitalant) is participating in. They made it clear that the research-related questions were optional and that declining to answer them would not affect my eligibility to donate. One of the questions asked about multivitamins and iron supplements. I answered that I take a multivitamin with iron. The next question asked how often I take it. The possible answers included “1-3 days a week” and “4-6 days a week”. I take it every other days (so some weeks 3 days and some weeks 4 days) so I had to decide between those two answers. If you had been in my position, which one would you have picked? What I did and why: I chose “1-3 days a week”. My thinking was that I might miss a day here and there so my average would be closer to 3 than to 4. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5832))_ ---
