Supplementary notes

The source states that: "Where results do not sum to 100 or the ‘difference’ appears to be +/-1 more/less than the actual, this may be due to rounding, multiple responses, or the exclusion of “don't know” or not stated responses."

The original question posed was: "For each of the following, please tell me how likely or unlikely you think they are to happen…. ? Aliens will visit the Earth"
