how many licks does it take to get the center of a tootie roll pop?

OK--the first day of research methods class I passed out a tootsie roll
pop to each student and a syllabus and told them to wait with the toosie
roll pop. Eventually I told them all that research methods was nothing
more nothing less than having confidence in the answer you obtain to a
question. So now their task was to determine how many licks it takes to
get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.
That was all the instruction I gave--intentionally--and went on with
going over the syllabus.
Well: here are the numbers: Average: 126.2; range: 7-341 licks!
At the end of class I asked for them to write down what they perceived to
be the problems. They came out, by category as: lack of definition of
a "lick": 25, lost count/miscounted: 15; uncontrolled length of time per
lick: 12; no definition of "center": 9; different sizes of pops: 9;
intensity of lick differences: 7; Distracted: 8, keeping pop in mouth
different lengths of time: 5; activity of salivary glands: 4; size of
gongue: 3; different chemicals in different flavors: 4; speed of
licking: 2; piece breaks off: 1.
Now I see A LOT of potential to talk about things like operational
definitions, what type of research method was this, various controls
that need to be taken, physiological factors in human behavior, etc.
etc. So all in all a good way to "catch" their attention and establish
rapport on the first day and a good event to go back and refer to
throughout the semester.

This was solved by the wise old owl on TV commercial for tootie pops. The owl said one two crunch TWO to get to the center.

It relies upon on the intensity and era of the lick. there is an inverse relation between the time to the middle and those 2 factors. time to the middle = a million/(intensity x lick era). The evidence of this actuality is previous the scope of this text.
