Just a tangent dig, based on the…

'mathematically impossible' stuff.

Something? Nothing?

Just bored, figured I'd take a break and look outside the box.

This morning, I took a look at our data, and with 347 responses, I can confirm that 17 is significantly more popular than any number.

As you can see, the number 17 was picked much more often – almost 18 percent of the time, compared to the 5 percent you might expect from this sample.

But even random numbers aren't perfectly distributed – if you roll a die 6 times, you most likely won't get one of each number. Perhaps in a truly random sample, we'd see a similar distribution. So I had my computer generate 347 random numbers in the same range and plotted them in light blue on the chart. Using the computer, the number 19 was most common, but it was chosen just 8 percent of the time. Humans picked the number 17 significantly more often than the computer picked 19.
