nicksummers: Awesome — just found my science project files from high school. Actual title: “Peer Pressure: The Effect of Urinal Occupancy Configuration on Conformity in Urinal Choice.” Sample from paper: “In every configuration where at least one outermost urinal is a possible choice, the most popular urinal is to a linear extreme (Appendices A-C).  In configuration 2, urinal occupancy is symmetric: the two “in use” urinals are in the second and second-to-last spots, and there is an even number of urinal choices between them (Appendix B).  Accordingly, urinal choice was also roughly symmetric (Appendix B): an equal number of subjects chose the two middle urinals and a statistically insignificant difference exists between the number of subjects who chose the outer urinals.  These findings support the research hypothesis.”
