瀏覽器囧調查：谷歌Chrome用户比IE用户更聰明？
According to the number puzzle website Calcudoku, Chrome users appear to have the highest level of numerical intelligence when it comes to solving the puzzles on its site.
來自數獨益智網站Calcudoku的消息稱，在解決該網站的數獨難題上，谷歌chrome瀏覽器用户相比其他瀏覽器用户顯示出更高水平的數字智商。
The company recently published a study based on 2010 and 2011 usage data and parsed it by the browser of choice by its players.
該公司根據2010至2011年的數獨解題數據進行了研究，並通過瀏覽器用户的不同分析出其調查結果。
According to the data it analyzed, people who use Google’s Chrome browser were the quickest problem solvers of its puzzles compared to those who use Internet Explorer or Firefox:
據調查分析的數據指出，相比IE和火狐瀏覽器用户，Chrome用户能更迅速地解決數獨難題。
Firefox users came in second place with Internet Explorer in third. There wasn’t enough Safari data to drop them into the mix. Not only were Internet Explorers the slowest number puzzle solvers, they were also more likely to give up on the problems than Chrome or Firefox users.
火狐用户排列第二，緊跟其後的是IE用户。由於沒有足夠的數據，分析圖中並沒有包括Safari（蘋果瀏覽器）用户。IE用户不僅計算速度最慢，而且也最容易放棄解題。
Here’s Calcudoku’s summary on the data it looked at:
下面是Calcudoku的數據分析統計：
These differences were found to be statistically significant. Based on the fact that Chrome users solve Calcudoku number puzzles the fastest, and that IE users give up on solving them the most, it appears that Chrome users have the highest numerical intelligence, followed by Firefox users, then by Internet Explorer users. Note that it does not follow that using Chrome makes you smarter, for example (“correlation does not imply causation”). Also, we can only speculate about the causes of the differences: perhaps Chrome is the browser of choice for more technically inclined people, who tend to have better number skills. And maybe because IE is the default browser for Windows, people who do not choose a different browser possibly are less technically skilled.
統計數據説明了三種用户的解題差距顯著。由於Chrome用户解題速度最快，IE用户最慢且最易放棄解題，我們可以推斷出Chrome用户具備最高水平的數字智商，火狐用户位居第二，最後是IE用户。但這並不意味着使用Chrome瀏覽器會讓你更聰明（相關性並不能推出最終性結果），我們只能推測出這種差距的原因：或許Chrome用户大多數為技術性人員，他們擁有更佳的專業技能。而IE瀏覽器是Windows默認瀏覽器，其用户由於技術能力稍遜，不太傾向於去另外選擇一個差異明顯的瀏覽器。
While this is a very small segment of users, we’re not implying that Chrome users are the most brilliant people on the planet. In fact, we’ve been hoaxed on something like this before in the past. However, Google’s CEO Larry Page was pretty excited about the results:
這數據只囊括了一小部分用户，我們可以認為Chrome用户是數字達人，但不能就此斷言他們就是地球上智商最高的羣體。以前我們就在這種類似情況上摔過跟頭。但不管怎樣，google的CEO拉里·佩奇對這項調查結果表示非常興奮：
All of this probably just means that Google Chrome users are number nerds. Or that everyone who uses Calcudoku’s site works at Google.
不過，這一切或許只是説明了谷歌Chrome瀏覽器的用户很有數字頭腦，又説不定那些使用數獨網站的人正好在谷歌工作呢！
