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?
