Why this one divides people
Smell memories are stubbornly specific, which is why this question rarely produces a landslide. The outdoor answers do well because they are shared: almost everyone has a version of a long afternoon that smelled like that. The indoor answers are stronger but narrower, tied to one room, one drawer, one particular week. What tips the vote is usually whether your childhood happened mostly outside or mostly at a table. And there is always a group who pick the answer they like least in real life, purely because it hauls them back the fastest.

In the game itself you always see a split, because a seeded baseline stands in until recorded answers outweigh it. That estimate is ours, so it is never published here as crowd data.
