bill	posted 13-May-2005 8:05am The kind of cool thing about this survey is you can see if you were right... eventually. This situation came from me playing an online game. In the game I need to collect resources from an area that is broken up into 10 parts and labeled 1-10. Other players are doing this as well. So, I'm trying to pick the least used part so that there will be the most resources for me to collect.

Amanda	posted 13-May-2005 7:06pm 9. But, if everyone else thinks it'll be the least picked number, it'll really become the most picked number. Right? I'm so confused!
southernyankee	posted 13-May-2005 9:04pm 4? I figure that people will go for the odds.
southernyankee	(reply to bill) posted 13-May-2005 9:05pm I was once thinking of doing a similar type of game. And I also invented the guard game, which I am still working out the details. I thought about posting it on sc but I haven't decided which side of the law the users would be.
YukonGold	posted 13-May-2005 10:01pm I don't understand the point of a survey like this.

ROCKMAN	posted 14-May-2005 9:51am I 9
ROCKMAN	(reply to Amanda) posted 14-May-2005 9:56am > 9. But, if everyone else thinks it'll be > the least picked number, it'll really become > the most picked number. Right? I'm so confused! > I picked 9 too and was thinking the same thing you were and so far it is the most picked one that is least likely to be picked. I think I said that right.
Amanda	(reply to ROCKMAN) posted 14-May-2005 5:39pm Confusing!
ROCKMAN	(reply to Amanda) posted 15-May-2005 6:26am Yes it is.
srflorida	posted 15-May-2005 7:50pm 9, most people like to pick 2,3 or 7. I think 9 is least picked. One is also probably rarely picked.
srflorida	(reply to ROCKMAN) posted 15-May-2005 7:51pm me too....
they	posted 15-May-2005 9:54pm 6. I probably should have picked 1 or 10 though.
ROCKMAN	(reply to srflorida) posted 16-May-2005 5:14am > me too.... You confussed too?
ROCKMAN	(reply to they) posted 16-May-2005 5:16am > 6. > > I probably should have picked 1 or 10 though. Nope, you should have picked 9.
bill	posted 16-May-2005 7:43am No clear winner... 2, 3, 5, 7 all tied for least picked with 2 votes.

llamamama	posted 20-Jun-2005 10:01pm this is stupid...if more than 10 people do this survey than every number...one would assume...with probability would be chosen.... Course I picked 5 cuzz it's my favorite number,but i bet alot of people didn't pick it because they thought other people would...so yay me!!
