It doesn't represent how pious you are or how much you love our Church. But just try to be honest  ;)
It's only for fun but not to make fun someone.
Or may be it can be as our self introspection at least for me.

Generally, my parish has Liturgy twice a week, as well as Vespers and Saturday Vigil.  On a good week, I'll go to Church three times.

Almost every Sunday I go to church taking my daughter to sunday school then attend liturgy with my wife. The exciting part after liturgy is having lunch together with all parishioners ;)

In my parish, there are all night vigil on Saturday and divine liturgy on Sunday. That's only I knew.
I never come to Church for attending vigil except  holy week.

"At least Every Sunday" - actually at least every Saturday and Sunday.
Because I'm bad, lazy and weak person that I need more Church services, and especially the Holy Eucharist.

It means I need more because may be I'm worse than anybody.
It's not an excuse but my job is not on regular work days, that's why rarely come to Church. :(

Very good, when you go in Saturday and Sunday you are not a weak person.

Once in a while I miss Sundays for various reasons, but I usually come on Wednesdays too.
