So I devised a quiz: How well do you know your area?
對此我設(shè)計了一個測試：你對你居住的地區(qū)了解多少？
It's a simple Web app.
這是一個簡單的網(wǎng)絡(luò)應(yīng)用。
You put in a post code and then it will ask you questions based on census data for your local area.
輸入郵編，它會根據(jù)你所在地區(qū)的普查數(shù)據(jù)給你提出問題。
And I was very conscious in designing this.
我在設(shè)計時有特別注意。
I wanted to make it open to the widest possible range of people, not just the 49 percent who can get the numbers.
我想要讓它適用于最廣范圍的人群，不僅僅是49%的會把玩數(shù)字的人。
I wanted everyone to engage with it.
我想要每個人都能參與。
So for the design of the quiz, I was inspired by the isotypes of Otto Neurath from the 1920s and '30s.
所以，針對測試的設(shè)計，我的靈感是由19世紀(jì)20到30年代奧圖·紐拉特的“同形像”所激發(fā)。
Now, these are methods for representing numbers using repeating icons.
這是使用重復(fù)圖標(biāo)來代表數(shù)字的方法。
And the numbers are there, but they sit in the background.
那些數(shù)字僅僅是作為背景。
So it's a great way of representing quantity without resorting to using terms like "percentage," "fractions" and "ratios."
所以這是一個代表數(shù)量的絕佳方式，不需要使用“百分比”、“分?jǐn)?shù)”和“比率”。
So here's the quiz. The layout of the quiz is, you have your repeating icons on the left-hand side there,
這個就是測試界面。界面的布局是，你左手邊有重復(fù)出現(xiàn)的圖標(biāo)，
and a map showing you the area we're asking you questions about on the right-hand side.
然后在右手邊，這里有一張地圖，展現(xiàn)我們問你問題的地區(qū)。
There are seven questions. Each question, there's a possible answer between zero and a hundred,
一共有七個問題。對于每一個問題，這里有一個從0到100的可能的答案，
and at the end of the quiz, you get an overall score between zero and a hundred.
在測試結(jié)尾，你會得到一個在0和100之間的總分。
And so because this is TEDxExeter, I thought we would have a quick look at the quiz for the first few questions of Exeter.
因為這是TEDx?？巳兀覀兛梢钥焖倏匆幌玛P(guān)于?？巳氐那皫讉€問題。
And so the first question is: For every 100 people, how many are aged under 16?
第一個問題是，每一百人中有多少個在十六歲以下？
Now, I don't know Exeter very well at all, so I had a guess at this, but it gives you an idea of how this quiz works.
當(dāng)然，我對于?？巳夭荒敲戳私猓晕译S便猜了一下，主要是演示這個測試怎樣進(jìn)行。
You drag the slider to highlight your icons, and then just click "Submit" to answer,
你將滑塊拖至你所認(rèn)可的數(shù)據(jù)圖標(biāo)，然后點擊“遞交”，
and we animate away the difference between your answer and reality.
然后我們將你的答案和現(xiàn)實之間的差異用動畫的方式表現(xiàn)出來。
And it turns out, I was a pretty terrible guess: five.
結(jié)果是，我錯得很離譜，只得了五分。
