An easy question on Friday the 13th, who knew 🙂

If it's easy, there must be a lot of not very bright and knowledgable people using SQL Server central. 61 out of 152 got it wrong so far. If people who just guess are split evenly between those who say "of course it works, why on earth wouldn't it" and those who say "there must be some reason for asking this, so probably it doesn't work" and there are at most 20% who think they know but are wrong (which surely would be true for an "easy" question) that means that 31 of the people who got it right were guessing, so only 60 out of 152 knew or successully looked up the answer, which is a pretty low proportion (less than 40%) for an"easy" question.

Anyway, it's a good question because at least the 40% with wrong answers may learn from it, and maybe some of the people who got the right answer by guessing will in future actually know the answer.
