The chopornot guys have a spreadsheet with the information in it. I expect 
they would send you a copy if you asked.

The hundred different cuts in the chopornot game are hand-chosen, but the 
pairings are randomised, so don't be put off too much by the specificity 
of the questions. The biggest value in this data set is its enormous size: 
millions of answers!

I think you are unlikely to get a better measure of the "popularity" of 
various cuts, so do think about ways of using it, even if the structure 
is not ideal. We are.
