- vladd 16y agoJust make her pick a number between 1 and 10, you'll have at least 10 times more success probability.
- StavrosK 16y agoAnd it will be 10 times less impressive.
- reemrevnivek 16y agoSo clearly we should have her pick a number between 1 and 1000!
- ComSubVie 16y agoI guess 42 will be a spike in the results - but it would be interesting to verify ;)
- ot 16y agoAre you implying than the average HNer or Redditer has a different bias wrt the average girl?
- albertzeyer 16y ago43 is actually not bad. I would think that most people would pick something somewhere in the middle. A somewhat similar distribution as with the 1-10 results. Odd numbers more often than even numbers. Prime numbers even more often.
- ZoFreX 16y agoStipulate that both digits must be distinct and odd, then guess 37.
- jaredmck 16y agoor distinct and even, then guess 68 (think this was an old david blaine trick if i recally correctly)
