雞蛋孵化破殼給我的啟示

昨天我跟女兒解說雞蛋孵化成雞的過程的時候,我們在 Youtube 看到了這段影片。



在大約 3:29 的時候,第二顆雞蛋開始破殼了。 http://youtu.be/T93Qp3JLrFA?t=3m29s

我女兒問了一個很有啟發性的問題:小雞如果不能從殼裡面出來的話,要怎麼辦?

Counting checkbox votes in Google Forms

I think it is a good solution to use "Text to Columns" data tool first to parse the cells. And then I can count the number of cells for each items with function "countif()".

I cheated. Copied the column into Microsoft Excel and use the the "Text to Columns" option under the Data tab. Then copy the data back into Google Spreadsheet to be counted. Not the best work around but I was after quick and simple. If you have access to Excel this might be your best bet.
