A non-numerical answer does not count toward a correct answer, considering that the question required a number.

No, lol, your answer is also wrong. You're the only person so far that has chosen that particular option. There are two correct answers that no one has yet chosen.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

Sure it does, because it recognizes that the question is incomplete and could be answered one of two ways - and 365 is not one of them.

Even if there is a decimal point with a retarded average, 365 should still count.

No, not even if you round it. Read Jules Verne.
