Ah now last time I chose 6, and noted that 5 was unloved - so Ipicked it this time, and so has someone else

Fair enough! The two things I remember about the last one are that 7 got far more than its fair share of pickes (11 / 40, I think), and 5 got none.

Yes, I was disappointed that my choice of 7 turned out to be so unoriginal. But I chose it again. :-)

Well done! :-)

I regret to inform you that when asked to pick a number between one and ten, around half of the population typically picks 7. People who know this tend to have a strong bias against picking 7 thereafter :)

Quite ...

Whereas I picked a "random" number each time. I think it was four the first time; it seems to have been ten this time.

I'm glad you put that in quotes! ;-)
