game theory, 70% game

[MzLisa]

First of all my reasonings for saying just pickin a number stem from someone saying that only homeless people or young children would only be inclined to just randomly pick a number. Which i think is offensive. Simply because we have all participated in the same type of game in one form or another, whether it be guessing the number of beans in a jar of jelly beans or randomly pickin a number from 1-100 at a game at cedar point.

Yes, i would have just picked a number just as the orginal poster did when he picked the number 1. and for you to write me a response like that tells me one thing: u need to get a life.

and your response tells me one thing: go back to rgp, its about your level.

But the whole point of the game is to win, not just to pick a number and hope you win. When I play the jelly bean game, I try to get a good estimate of the jelly beans in the jar and don't just throw out a random number.

As for the original poster, he choose one because it is the logical answer ... unfortunately he forgot that most people aren't logical.
