-It is clear that after I first voted, the number of participants could have been either 11 or 26. After my friend voted, the number of participants could have been 12 or 27. The idea is that the second look up should produce numbers that have increased by 1, compared to the first look up. +It is clear that after I first voted, the number of participants could have been either 11 or 26.

 +===== Other Strategies and Future Improvement ===== 
 +Perhaps I can record how the how the percentage number change over time, and automatically give a list of the most likely number. The number of participant monotonically increases over time. This property can help the search. Perhaps I can write a function that automate this process.  
 + 
 +Finally, it would be great to implement this whole idea using Javascript, so people can run it without Matlab.  
 + 
 +===== Ethical Consideration ===== 
 +Well, if you do not want people to find out how many people have voted in your poll, do not do an Instagram poll. This work does not gather more information than what is already in the public
