2397 | 2397 | 73 | yes |
1985 | 1985 | 49 | year my Dad was born. It is going to be random #. I think some people will over think it and submit 1, 2 or 3 believing they can out smart others. |
374 | 374 | 6 | yeah, it's a guess |
110 | 110 | 1 | worth a try ;) |
1025 | 1025 | 20 | with a couple 1000 entries, the winning # won't be too high. banking on others picking prime #s or otherwise oddball values and overlooking a simple #. |
3108 | 3108 | 189 | win |
3156 | 3156 | 213 | win |

275 | 275 | 4 | who knows |
2219 | 2219 | 63 | who even knows |
2793 | 2793 | 119 | who else would pick 119? |
3086 | 3086 | 182 | whismy |
663 | 663 | 12 | whim |
537 | 537 | 10 | well, I figured if 10 is the least commonly picked number between 1 and 10, then it has a better than average chance of not being picked. see also https://web.archive.org/web/20150228025301/http://nfrom1to10.appspot.com/results/ |
2770 | 2770 | 117 | watching UFC |
490 | 490 | 9 | unclear how many people will participate, but I'm guessing it will be enough that at least two might choose each of the lower integers. |
349 | 349 | 5 | um...it's my lucky number |
1065 | 1065 | 21 | uh I forget why it is 21, but basically to assume other people are also ssmart |
3656 | 3656 | epsilon/(Googolplex) | two of the most identifiable numbers, the machine bit epsilon over an entire Googolplex of Google searches |
678 | 678 | 13 | triskaidekaphilia |
2683 | 2683 | 111 | triple one |
3061 | 3061 | 173 | totally random |
3105 | 3105 | 187 | top |
3320 | 3320 | 366 | three digits seems to be the right order of magnitude |
1351 | 1351 | 29 | thought I'd just pick a low ish prime number |
2721 | 2721 | 113 | this is a difficult question because I have no idea how many people visit this website a week but I'm going to estimate 20,000 so probably 4,000 submit this. |
3192 | 3192 | 231 | think that others will choose all the numbers below 231- ha just a guess |
2011 | 2011 | 51 | the smallest positive number would be 0. I imagine that answerers will gather around 1 and likes. Hence I picked 51 because that's the Pastis liquor number ;) |
2040 | 2040 | 53 | the number of seconds on the clock as I write this |
615 | 615 | 12 | the largest monosyllabic number (in English) |

2020 | 2020 | 52 | sounds like a good number? |
31 | 31 | 1 | somebody's got to do it.... |
246 | 246 | 3 | some will submit 1, thinking that no one else will bother; some will submit 2, having realized that some will submit 1. I'm betting on the slim chance that no one besides me will think to submit 3. Or that those who think it through that far will skip 3 and go to 4 or higher. |
375 | 375 | 6 | some people will go much higher thinking all the lower numbers are picked, its a gamble. |
1244 | 1244 | 25 | small-ish, round number |
2196 | 2196 | 61 | shruggie |
3501 | 3501 | 1002 | shrug emoticon |

2705 | 2705 | 113 | seems low but high enough? |

101 | 101 | 1 | risk vs reward |
918 | 918 | 17 | relatively low prime number |
