Show HN: A visualization of how humans pick random numbers (humanrandomness.com)

This piqued my interest. Would be interesting to have some background information, your motivations etc.

I wonder how much the input ui and presentation affects the outcome. It seems a blank input field would be more neutral?

Thanks for sharing!

I chose 25 and it was pretty rarely picked. Interesting. I best we are not so random!

Thank you for sharing. It turns out that the higher digits were the highest picked ones from a sample of 4400. Hmm. Interesting.

Reddit played a game like this recently. 3 options, everyone casts votes for what they think will come in second place, you win the round if you vote right. Game was called second I think.

My immediate reaction was to pick 2 as 1 would be too obvious. But then I thought 3 would be even less obvious. And why not 4 then? I ended up taking 13, but yeah 5 made more sense :-)

It didn't ask me to pick a random number though :-). It asked me to make a prediction.
