To the denizens of the OT Board, I would appreciate your help in conducting an experiment. It involves playing a game.
Pick a real number from 0 to 100, and PM your picked number to me, ALONG with your occupation. DO NOT post your number on this board, please. The winner is the person who picks the number that is closest to 1/2 of the arithmetic average of all numbers picked.
Again, please DO NOT post your picked number here or otherwise try to hint at your number or tell people what your strategy is. (I'll delete your picked number from the experiment.) No problem if you want to discuss the various possible strategies or how stupid this experiment is or why won't jyl just go away or any other topic.
The winner gets . . . err, what does s/he get, anyway . . . how about a custom-printed 8x10 of the image below. You can always use it as a coaster.
The experiment ends when I get enough responses. I'll announce the end, and the winner.
