Another great find.

Another gem found on the floor of the photocopy room. I think I’ll start a collection of found graphs which mean nothing.

So as you can see from this graph...

UPDATE: A theory

The X axis represents the level of despondency the participants felt when faced with the realisation that they are not magic. From this we can see that while most people surveyed were slightly disappointed, but carried on with their lives, two unlucky people were enveloped in level14 despondency.

However, the project has been criticised on a methodological level for attempting to make relatable claims about humanity based on a sample size of only 29 people. And in fact the amount of research and planning which went into this survey has been lampooned by experts for being simply the phrase “let’s make a graph.”
