I think that the reason that 7 is so high is because it is commonly believed that 3 will is the first one you think of. As a result people choose to pick something higher, hence 4 and 7 being the top two.
- lucasbmccoy 16y agoI didn't think that much. I just chose 7 because I wanted to choose I high number, but anything higher then 7 would have been to high.
- archangel_one 16y agoI thought it was commonly believed that 7 is the most often picked - I've seen a "magic" trick based around that before. Sort of looks to me like people avoid the extremes and also 5 (possibly because it's "right in the middle" and so perceived as "less random"?).
- metachris 16y agoI was talking with a friend when I visited the website, and just completely unconsciously entered any number. It was 7. After submitting I wondered why I did that without even thinking about it.
- lubos 16y agomy favorite number is 4 but I entered 7 because I wanted something higher and this was the highest prime number within that range :)
