There is one certain number that is supposed to appear a lot more.

See for yourself

you were the first one to comment. And I was expecting this number :-)

Yeah, nearly everyone picks seven, IIRC. They are least likely to pick one or ten, but should.

Once you know it, there are a lot of way to use it.

3

this is the second choice after 7

5

people would rarely go straight for the middle.

That's my problem. I don't think like everyone else.

I don't think it is a problem ;-).

1

I didn't expect to see 1 or 10.

10

I didn't expect to see 1 or 10.

I picture the numbers in my mind and pick the one that stands out :-p
