I think we might have done this once before, but even if so, it's fun, so let's do it again! How good are we at picking random numbers? Are we creating a uniform distribution? Do more people equate 'random' with 'middle' or average? are we making a bell shape?

is it going to make any sense soon?

I wanted to pick 30 but it wasn't available so I picked 7.

I hope not...if it does a mod will have to move it to one of the sensible sections and then I'll never find it

/yes, I are loser

Plan9 · 12-18-2009, 10:47 PM

I'm shocked that I was the first 6.

dlish · 12-18-2009, 10:59 PM

i chose 7...

is there a trend study about this?

inBOIL · 12-19-2009, 03:23 PM

I suspected 7 would be the most popular. So I chose 4 instead.

I rolled a D10. Really. But I did pick a RANDOM D10. Yes I have a selection...

I picked 6 because I knew most people would pick 7. What is it about 7? It was my favorite number as a kid.

I'm still the only person to choose my number. I'm not saying which one.
