Phone Survey laughs

So I get a phone call last night - promises they aren't selling anything. The caller goes through all the questions to establish how old I am, are you between 18-34 etc. Then, after I answer to the correct range, she asks "what is your age". WTF was the point of doing the ranges if you are going to get the exact number in the next question???

Then the questions begin.

In the past 4 months have you read 'insert magazine name here'

that question repeats 40 times. Each with an answer "no."
She says thank you and hangs up.

This survey could have been over in 10 seconds with the following 2 questions:
How old are you?
Have you read any magazines in the past 4 months?

I hope knowing that I am 39 and haven't read any of their magazines in the past 4 months is useful to their survey results. So glad I could help.
