| How to tan? | |
The second most important thing about Mays rowing (after bumps)... bronzing. | Stay completely covered at all times to avoid any chance of a tan (see A. Lea-Cox) | | 15% | | | Wear an all-in-one and get strap marks (see people too busy rowing to care about looks) | | 48% | | | Wear only one strap and then switch at the lock to avoid too much of a strap mark whilst still being able to row well (see T. Coker) | | 6% | | | Push both straps down to avoid strap marks and (if female) hope it holds and (if male) hope it doesn't (see Women's hour) | | 12% | | | Go topless and just take the fines for indecent exposure on the chin (see the bank balance decrease) | | 18% |

| Blue and gold bikinis? | |

| What's the most beautiful piece of sport you've ever seen (live)? | |
*Liu Xiang broke Colin Jackson's 13-year-old 110m hurdles world record this week. That World Championship-winning run of 12.91 from CJ was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in sport. What's your favourite - not the most important or dramatic, but simply the most beautiful? (Ideally you should have watched it live for it to count.)

Estimate the total number of places lost or gained by our crews (in total) this week. We have 8 crews on the River, and could go up a total of 28 places if all crews gain blades with no overbumps. | Down more than 5 places | | 2% | | | Down between 1 and 5 | | 0% | | | Stay level | | 0% | | | Up between 1 and 5 | | 2% | | | Up between 6 and 10 | | 9% | | | Up between 11 and 15 | | 41% | | | Up between 16 and 20 | | 35% | | | Up between 21 and 25 | | 2% | | | Up more than 25 places for the week | | 9% |
