It reminds me of the time a friend asked me to write down a sequence of ten digits while he would write down a prediction about it. Feeling contrary, I wrote 1111111111, while he predicted that I would not have two consecutive digits the same. Anyway, I chose 1 since I was trying for an incorrect prediction.
I thought of seven as the most commonly-chosen number, then chose a different one, because that’s just how I roll.
Except for a minority who pick 1 or 10 just to be contrary, if the curve I’m seeing is any indication.
You need a control. You should have got another Doper to open an identical poll but only one of you (and you do not say who) would have thought of a number.
As soon as I saw the poll I knew that 7 would be the most chosen.
The premise of the test is fundamentally flawed. You can’t possibly spend the entire seven days thinking about your number and nothing else.
I just saw an ad for a fantastic four cartoon,
sooooooo…4
I’m going with 8.
Please think louder – there are too many people thinking ‘7’ and it’s messing me up.
There is no “right in the middle” here. 5 and 6 are equally middlish.
Hey, I’m already using that excuse! Find your own one to cover your ass with!
I’ll turn up my brainwave patterns to the maximum possible amplitude.
As soon as I read the title I thought ‘62’, but then I saw the poll, so 6 it is.
11?
Uh… no.
8 is my psychic choice but I just had breakfast. So if it’s wrong, it’s because of something I ate.
I chose 7.
Well, my brain goes to 11.

Well, my brain goes to 11.
Perhaps you are interpreting in binary what you think I may be sending in decimal?

There are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those who recognize a Spinal Tap allusion, and those who don’t.
So… it’s the 17th. Well?
