2/3 would be half for 2 half for three.
No Lazs. The answer I asked for was a numeric integer between 1 and 5. 2/3 and 3.5 are not integers. I asked the respondents to give the
closest value to what they did, not try to give an exact value involving decimal places. 26 people understood perfectly and gave valid responses before I closed the poll and posted the results. I only had to discount about 3 spurious votes. But if 2/3 means 2.5, then that vote was balanced by the 3.5 vote that I also discounted as these two votes deviated from the medium (3) by 0.5 each. So the end result would have been almost identical. I say "almost" because two people gave 2/3 as an answer.
In any poll, there are spoilt ballot papers.
