In thermodynamics, entropy measures disorder in a system. Low entropy = high order. Japanese culture's famous for precision and organization, and this survey board accidentally became the perfect scientific demonstration! Even their survey participation follows the laws of thermodynamics. The universe tends toward chaos, but apparently Japanese survey participants didn't get the memo.

Sampling Bias: When Your Data Is Already Biased Toward People Who Give Data

The perfect statistical paradox doesn't exi— This masterpiece illustrates sampling bias in its purest form. The researchers proudly announce that 99.8% of people "love responding to surveys" based on... wait for it... survey responses. Meanwhile, the people who hate surveys never filled it out in the first place. It's like concluding that 100% of fish love fishing hooks based on the ones you've caught. Statisticians are currently experiencing physical pain looking at this. The remaining 0.2% were probably just filling it out under duress from a particularly persistent grad student.
