Author Topic: [Poll] Pick a number...  (Read 1209 times)

This is purely an experiment. Cast your vote before reading the topic. I don't want numbers to be influenced.

My goal here is to see just how non-random this is.

Normally, each number should get a 10% chance. However, we're humans so that's not the case.

Therefore, this will be a measurement of human influence to a probability.

Now cast your vote and see what everone else picked!

holy forget
2 lmfao
wait what
in the time it took me to type 'holy forget 2 lmfao' 2 more people voted

Everyone pick 10 so we can ruin his experiment.

I won't care if this is ruined, and judging by the maturity of the forums here, it's probably ruined anyways.

It's more of a "for fun" experiement.

There's always theoretical probability and experimental probability.

It's like how if you flip a coin 10 times, you should get heads 5 times, and tails 5 times, theoretically.
Though when you do the "experiment" you might get 7 heads and 3 tails, that's experimental.

Then again 7 is a cool number so hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr time to vote for favourite numbers thread.



There are 5 votes on 5

lets keep it that way

Wheres the number for The Ace of Spades?


Apparently, (according to outside information, not this poll) 7 is the most oft picked number by humans. It makes one wonder why there are the 7 deadly sins, 7 great/ancient wonders of the world, and so on. Also, 7 x 6 = 42. 76 - 42 = 34. 34 backwards is 43. Also, 4 + 3 = 7. 7 is humanity's favorite number as a whole (not necessarily individually).

I voted for 9.

Is that why lady luck and 777 and all that stuff is all over Vegas?

Most likely. I just now thought of Vegas and the 7 deadly sins...
