I found an extremely bizarre internet survey

Nobody knows what rock bottom truly is until they've hit it. Being abruptly fired from a job you've worked at for the past ten years, only because some big corporation bought out your small company, will do that to a person in an instant.<br><br>With nothing but free time on my hands now, and only $800 left to my name, stress and worry quickly set in. It didn't take long for me to realize that I desperately needed some additional money in order to pay my upcoming rent on time. I took to the internet to find any possible means of accumulating some cash, and that's when I discovered it. There was a website that I found which promised to pay me $50 if I completed a digital census. It didn't sound like very much at all, but it was better than nothing.<br><br>A cinch of easy money, or at least that's what I hoped. Without a second thought, I clicked on the link, setup an account, and got started right away.<br><br>I gripped the mouse in my hand and clicked on the blue "Begin Survey" button. I was brought to the first question.<br><br>Question 1: Is this the first time that you've ever logged onto this website?<br><br>A) Yes<br><br>B) No<br><br>C) I don't know<br><br>D) Other<br><br>I was confused by the simplicity of the question. Of course this was the first time that I had logged onto the website, I just created the account a few minutes ago. I decided to go ahead and answer *A) Yes.*<br><br>The first question brought me to the second question.<br><br>Question 2: Is this the last time that you will ever log onto this website?<br><br>A) Yes<br><br>B) No<br><br>C) I don't know<br><br>D) Other<br><br>The question caught me off guard and made me stop to think for a moment. It seemed like I was in the process of answering the same question that I had just answered, but from a different perspective. I answered *A) Yes* to the first question, and it made me realize that this was actually the first AND last time that I'll be answering these questions. <br><br>*That's what they want me to think, at least.*<br><br>Answering *A) Yes* to the first question made me think that I should answer *B) No* to the second. I may be attempting to answer the questions again, or maybe I won't. I just don't know.<br><br>I decided to go ahead and answer *B) No.* I wanted to see what the next question was.<br><br>Question 3: Will you answer NO to this question?<br><br>A) Yes<br><br>B) No<br><br>C) I don't know<br><br>D) Other<br><br>This question was the strangest one yet, and it sent my mind spiraling into a cavern of confusion. The question wanted me to answer *NO,* but how could I if I wanted to actually pick answer *B) No?*<br><br>My brain started to hurt at the sheer thought of it all. If I answered *A) Yes,* then I'd actually be saying *YES,* not *NO.* But if I answered *B) No,* then I'd actually be saying *NO,* even though I'm picking an answer called *YES.*<br><br>My hand clicked the mouse cursor over to answer *C) I don't know.* Then something happened. The website froze. The rainbow wheel of death began to spin and everything locked up.<br><br>A few seconds later, a pop-up window appeared in the center of the screen. It read:<br><br>"You are not eligible to take this survey. You have been paid $50. Thank you for your time."<br><br>A few minutes later, I checked my bank account and saw that I really had been paid $50.<br><br>I couldn't stop pondering what just happened, the questions, the possible answers, the possibilities.<br><br>As of the time of this writing, the website is still active. You can find it at - www.askeverybody.com.<br><br>I encourage you to try it yourself. I'm interested in hearing about any similar experiences that others may have.<br><br>For now, however, I'm going to go to bed.<br><br>Wish me luck.<br><br>EDIT: <br><br>I thought that this would be a good spot to compile all of the different possibilities that people in the comments have come up with. I'll update it as often as I can. Feel free to add your theories in the comments below!<br><br>---<br>**Possible Theories:**<br><br>1.
