If you’re pregnant right now, your child will be born in the Year of the Horse! That’s pretty cool, right? Horses are big and strong, yet graceful. Your kid’s going to be pretty happy with your choices.

Or, I dunno — maybe you think you could have chosen better? Maybe you’re more of a goat fan? Monkey? Snake? 

Let’s figure out which is best from the perspective of a bunch of mostly white people living in a remote section of the Pacific coast of the North American continent, almost all of whom are almost entirely ignorant of the actual cultural tradition we’re talking about.

What feels right? Dog? Rat? Rabbit?

You know the deal — drag ‘n’ drop the animals of the Chinese zodiac into their proper order, best to worst. Then hit submit. Then check back as the ranked choice tabulator tabulates the results every 15 minutes, in exactly the way that Eureka’s ranked-choice voting system will work in the upcoming election. Let’s consense a winner!
