I wonder how much the dynamic URLs to the forms are playing a part in this.  Each refresh of the comic [1] and homepage [2] gets a different form URL.  Are these being associated with other data from the xkcd.com domain..?  And how much has it messed up Randall to have such shenanigans defeated by a direct form URL being submitted to Hacker News.<p>In fact, how do we know that the form URL submitted to Hacker News is one of Randalls?<p>Dang should probably change the URL to the comic permalink: [1]<p>Though I am late to the party and this might not get noticed.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;1572&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;1572&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;</a><p>Edit:  Actually refreshing the comic URL [1] is getting only a range of URLs to forms.  More often than not the forms answers are in a different order, I suppose to either prevent bias, or encourage it and monitor it.
