got a moment for science?

A Random Number:

I am conducting an experiment to see what numbers I will get if I ask a bunch of people to pick a random number between 1 and 100. It was important to me that the page be very simple so as not to influence the numbers people entered.

My guess is that there will be preference towards certain numbers over others. Whenever I try to think of a random number, I tend to lean towards 7’s. I decided to also add those extra questions so that I’ll be able to see if different patterns arise in, for example, males and females. Or maybe math-savvy people will generate less random numbers than non-math people because they think too hard about it. Or then again, it may spread evenly across the board, providing the most boring results possible.

Once I have a good number of submissions (I would like hundreds of thousands, but I don’t think I’ll get that lucky) I will gather the findings and publish them on this page. So check back here later!

I used my age.
