text: Asking multiple people the same question could provide many outcomes too. For example, say you were thinking about getting the newest game console, but you also want to get the latest phone, and you have enough money only to get one. You could ask people what they think that you should get first if cannot make a decision. If I were debating on getting a new console, or the latest phone I would use tally marks to keep tract of all the votes. That way you won't forget about all the vote of the people you asked. You got the new console, and the next thing you know you here about the latest phone catching on fire. Talk about a good outcome!
