Question 1: Which coal miners liked the ramen?

235679

Question 2: Who really loved it among the guys you just named?

9

Question 3: Who did not like the ramen too much?

1

Question 4: Who absolutely loathed it?

4

Question 5: Who used cool slang or colloquial speech in their answers?

7? I can never remember which is the slang and which is the dictionary definition of うまい (まさえぐさんはテニスがうまい！ vs この食べ物はうまい), but I think ピカイチ is slang in this case, so three!

Question 6: Who may have a native-level vocabulary size?

9 (although I'm proud to say I know 一期一会 and how to use it! (I know only because it's the Japanese title of Forrest Gump)). Aside from 9, I'd say 4 used the most complex grammar, but 9 showed the best vocabulary.

Question 7: Who is the clown that did not even talk about the ramen?

8. Unless his statement is some next-level punnery.

No way.

Why should people who had never even showed a sign of interest know the answers? I had clearly stated that they were welcome to try answering even one of the questions.
