Because up there as the top ‘how to’ was the question ‘how to tie a tie’.
Yep, it seems that we struggle with whether to go over or under and when to loop it through.
Other top questions included ‘What is my IP address?’ and ‘Why is there a leap day’.
For those getting ready to Google just that, let us save you a click on that one…
In terms of what made us hungry, the top recipe Googled in 2016 was for Pancakes – because who doesn’t love a pancake?!
