Hacker News Headlines (game) (projects.peercy.net)

I average a score in the range 1500-2000 (out of 2500).

I imagine those who spend more time on hn will ace it.

I think you need to adjust the variation of scores, I got 1650 actually guessing, then realized most of the scores were low and got 1800 by just always guessing 239

Anchoring!!! If the range has nothing to do with the items in question, just have simple number input. Tested multiple times and all items were below default / midpoint.

Why is the score range 239-1000?
