I see several references to Nerd Ranches or BNR. Well done.

One person voted Dwarf Fortress into the top. golf clap. Though I count 9 instead of 7.

LOTR gets a couple references at least. This would need some manual filtering to truly get a top 10 representation.

Preeeetty sure I can tell just from the results who filled out at least 1-2 of these surveys (Deep curiousity....)

Whoever mentioned Ender Game, and Science Olympiad, y'all are my new favorite people. <3

Also I really want to know who did survey 39. Bill, is that you?

+1 For conference rooms named Lovelace and Hopper!

My reputation deceives thee, randomstep - I am survey 18.
