And now... a quiz!

TORCHWOODIAN FANNISH VENNISH DIAGRAM, INSTALLMENT THE FIRST:

Gwack and Janto fangirls in venn-diagrammatic form.



QUESTION ONE: Using the following supposition, find a value for A, B, C and D.

Supposition:

Jack/Gwen shippers like to pretend that John Barrowman is just a little bit straight. For them.

[Poll #1330387]

QUESTION TWO:
IS HERE

Working on the given supposition, I would say that A is J/G shippers, B is J/I shippers, C is people who fancy John and D Gareth. ALTHOUGH it now occurs to be that it could be that A is J/I shippers, B is J/G shippers C is people attracted to John and D is people attracted to Gareth - which would make work in some ways but is not related to the original supposition and makes the lack of a 'people who fancy Eve Myles' moar curiously absent.

MAH HED HURTS OF MAFFS NAO!

A is people attracted to John; B is people attracted to Gareth. D, the circle crossing them, is people who are attracted to them both, so Jack/Ianto shippers, while C (attracted to John but not Gareth) are the Jack/Gwen shippers.

ETA: wait, I totally screwed up why D is Jack/Ianto, since different bits of it also include 'people who only fancy John', 'people who only fancy Gareth' and 'people who fancy neither'. This bodes well for the class I'm teaching on Thursday.

people who fancy neither

Surely a statistically insignificant number of people?

I would like to meet these people (or possibly only "this person"). I've never met a real pervert.
