Social Experiment; Numbers

[Deleted member 4320]

Hey everyone, it's me again with another social experiment I'd like to try out. Some of you might remember my other social experiment that I did, "Social Experiment; Lying", which which turned out to be a success in terms of what I learned and also found out etc. Now I'm back with another one.

I'm not expecting it to do as well though as I've not actually tried looked into this, but basically this experiment is quite simple, do as follows...

Think of your favorite/lucky number but don't tell me. It can be any number between 1 and 100. Now think of 3 random numbers between 1 and 100 again and post them here. I will then see if I can work out weather your number is odd or even and see if I can figure it out. Now please note that I'm not trying to actually guess your number exact but getting as close as possible to it is a success really. Don't change your number and also the science/psychology part in this is the numbers you pick.

Now begin and lets see what happens 🙂

I've got my lucky number ready. Can't wait to see your results. 🙂

Your lucky number an odd number and is between 20 and 50, am I right?

Good luck.

In the lying experiment, you didn't manage to spot the fallacy behind my statement, so let's see how you with this one.

@Desireful; Yours is an even number between 1 and 40, yes?

Nope.

Yeah 😛 Yours is an odd number between 1 and 30.

I don't expect any good results from this experiment though, doesn't work the exact same way as lying.

*Edit: This one is yours David, I'll start quoting to make it easier.

Yes and yes, it's going to be hard to determine a number through "random" numbers. If the other numbers had to have significance + a reason (like birthday), then you could probably get quite close.

Yes, for both.

Yeah the actual number would be rather difficult but by a little technique through the random numbers picked you can narrow down the lucky number to a fairly small sized range. The great thing about the mind and body is that it tries to tell everyone else every and the truth as well so what people don't realise it that there numbers that they give is a self-conscious message telling what the number is (not exactly really but you could you the data more to narrow it down further).

*Edit:

@Desireful; this is turning out a lot better than anticipated 🙂

 

[David]

The only issue is that what if I choose the exact same numbers as say Matthew (which was what I was planning 😛). You couldn't actually use that to narrow things down because then the question raised is what other factor did you take into account in your choice, because there is a 95/98 chance that mine and Matthew's are different.

But yeah, good job so far (although you got mine wrong in the first place 😛)

Your lucky number is an odd number, and it's between 20 and 50, yeah?<br /><br />-- 08 Sep 2010, 06:53 --<br /><br />

Yeah that would be difficult and could result in a guess being made but the whole point is you choose and if they do turn out to be the same numbers, then that would be very interesting but wouldn't 'hurt' the experiment though. As long as you choose the numbers then this will work (well should 😉)

 

[BtR_Wolf]

Nope, it's odd, but not between 20 and 50.

Oh right okay. As one last attempt I would say it's in the 60 to 70 region but I wont just start guessing.
If it's not that then I'll have to re-think this theory a little bit 🙂

 

[BtR_Wolf]

To help you refine the theory, it was 3. Could be that numbers 1-9 are anomalous?
