Ah, in my browser it turns up in English. I guess they deliver
Hungarian to people who have set their language preferences
to Polish! Try putting English at the top of your language
preferences, and go back to the site.

I'll have more time in a couple of weeks to write down what
I'd look for. But here are a few pointers:

a) Can someone rank 6 options, 1 to 6? Then can the system
give one point to the 6th choice, 2 points to the 5th choice
and so on, and add up the total points score?

b) Can someone set out a Likert scale against a question
(e.g. +2 strongly agree, +1 agree, 0 neutral, -1 disagree,
-2 strongly disagree) and then produce a histogram of
results?

c) Can someone indicate how they would spend a notional
$100 across 5 different options?
