snyper Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Pick a number between 1 and 10. The results you may think should be random, however studies show differently. I would be interested to see if this is the case here.

Mathachew Veteran Posted August 10, 2007 Veteran Share Posted August 10, 2007 Pull a Monk, pick 8. Why 8? Because it's well rounded and balanced. But I picked 7.

remix17 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 7 always wins. Nothing particularly surprising. There's really no such thing as true randomness.
