"Which would you try?"

I love questions like this, because somehow they manage to separate what is most difficult about something (i.e. actually trying it) from the abstract notion of trying it. Apparently 38% of respondents would try BASE jumping, in spite of the fact that very few of them, presumably, actually have or will.
