    Fun Game
Click For Summary
A forum user initiated a game where participants guess a non-negative integer, aiming to select the lowest number that the fewest people also choose. The game encourages strategic thinking about how others might guess. The user plans to keep the game open for two days, emphasizing that guesses should be sent via private message to avoid influencing others. The discussion includes various thoughts on strategies, past experiences with similar games, and humorous exchanges about the guessing process. Ultimately, only a few participants submitted guesses, with one player, BobG, winning by selecting the number 0, which was the least picked. The user expressed disappointment over the low turnout but plans to host another round, hoping for greater participation.

Hmm, a moderator on another forum ran this game three rounds and the thing that amazed me was that one person won all three rounds. I'm just interested in seeing the results and I'd say that you're not a wierdo if you win...just know how to think right.

Ouch! You'd think that on a board as crowded as this one, more than 5 people would play. If anyone's interested, you can see what we did over at PhilosophyForums.com:

Heyo AKG, I didn't know you were the philosophyforums AKG too. I was referring to Wax on philosophyforums in the first quote :biggrin: I played in 4 of the 5 rounds there and became interested in the game. After seeing the number of people here, I thought it would be pretty interesting to play here and see the results with a huge (didn't happen) number of people.

Anyways, I'll run another round. Results will be posted in 2 days again. PM me with your guesses...RIGHT NOW!
