The Monthly Poll, No. 1, results
Thank you to everyone who responded to the Monthly Poll. The results of your collective thinking are provided below. The poll was scheduled to run for a week but due to the healthy number of responses received immediately following the launch, we have decided to compress the polling period and release the results immediately. Subsequent Monthly Polls will also have a much quicker turn-around time. Congratulations to Philip Lee, who wins a platinum 3-year subscription to the Monthly for his prediction.
