2/28/2019 8:09:47 A1 57 Its close to the middle
2/28/2019 8:10:16 A2 33 Let’s say the average is 50, 33 would be 2/3rd of that number. Hence I might win?
2/28/2019 8:10:19 A3 14 I was hoping most of the class would pick a number between 1-40
2/28/2019 8:10:22 A4 16 first 2 digits of my stud id
2/28/2019 8:10:23 A5 51 It is high enough to be 2/3 but not too high as people will probably guess under 50 as they want 2/3
2/28/2019 8:10:27 A6 46 somewhere near the middle but a bit lower than average making it hopefully 2/3????????
2/28/2019 8:10:30 A7 22 lol
2/28/2019 8:10:31 A8 7 favourite number
2/28/2019 8:10:48 A9 7 In Harry Potter Series Universe, 7 is a magic number and I quite like this number.
2/28/2019 8:10:58 A10 17 First number that came into mind
2/28/2019 8:11:22 A11 85 Randomly came up in my head
2/28/2019 8:11:43 A12 17 skewed answer due to human greed
2/28/2019 8:11:46 A13 75 I think majority of students will go for a higher value
2/28/2019 8:12:21 A14 88 Because that is a lucky number.
2/28/2019 8:12:43 A15 12 1 would be the optimal number game theoretically, but I assume some others wont know and will put higher numbers
2/28/2019 8:12:45 A16 34 logically, with the number requirement being 2/3 of the average it cannot be a very large number but it cannot be a small number either, 34 sits at a good point of being just under half by a bit but over a fifth by a good margin.
2/28/2019 8:13:25 A17 31 Just a guess, assuming averages i guess
2/28/2019 8:13:40 A18 45 I guess that most of the people are going to say number between 65 and 75 because in the task is written 2/3. This will lead that the 2/3 of the average will be some where between 43-50.
2/28/2019 8:13:42 A19 22 I was just imagining a bell curve and 2/3 the average seemed less than 50 but more than 0. So i aimed for the lower quarter.
2/28/2019 8:14:11 A20 43 have no idea why
2/28/2019 8:15:06 A21 87 it is my born year
2/28/2019 8:15:16 A22 84 25 +1 TA at the classroom
2/28/2019 8:15:18 A23 30 winner The average number could be 40 – 60, 2/3 of them is 24-36, the middle of them is this 30
2/28/2019 8:15:22 A24 40 Close to the average of 100 but not exact
2/28/2019 8:15:44 A25 50 its a common number to choose.
2/28/2019 8:15:58 A26 35 assume statistically that the average is 50. Two thirds of 50 is 33.3 therefore i will choose an integer near to 33.3, that being 35.
2/28/2019 8:16:51 A27 7 random picked
2/28/2019 8:16:54 A28 88 its between 100 and 50
2/28/2019 8:20:12 A29 32 no reason

3/7/2019 8:25:00 AA2 6 66666666
3/7/2019 8:25:09 AA3 20 It’s a good number 🙂
3/7/2019 8:25:15 AA4 17 Skewed answer due to everyone wanting to be closer
3/7/2019 8:25:20 AA5 22 Based on 2/3 of 50 and the previous results.
3/7/2019 8:25:23 AA6 33 Its close to what was picked last time
3/7/2019 8:25:42 AA7 100 To chaotically alter the average and try shift it away from what most people would pick
3/7/2019 8:25:44 AA8 40 Because the tutor said 40, my indication was that people would then choose this number
3/7/2019 8:26:12 AA9 18 winner Last time’s winner was 27, I think the average will be around 27. So 2/3rd’s of this number is 18.
3/7/2019 8:26:26 AA10 33 🙂
3/7/2019 8:26:30 AA11 13 Should be lower than last weeks average as everyone knows the last result
3/7/2019 8:26:37 AA12 16 I assume other students would chose integer that around 20~30 based on the result from last week.
3/7/2019 8:26:45 AA13 47 25 x 1.67 = 43.42 + 10% outlier (238 iq) = 47ish
3/7/2019 8:26:50 AA14 24 have no idea
3/7/2019 8:27:01 AA15 47 could possibly be the average
3/7/2019 8:27:17 AA16 12 2/3^3 of 40

3/7/2019 8:27:58 AA18 8 43*(2/3)^3 -+ variance
3/7/2019 8:28:17 AA19 36 closest to what I think is average
3/7/2019 8:28:51 AA20 23 going of last weeks result we can expect the result of 2/3 of the average to be lower this time, but still higher then 20, theoretically lower then 30 though given last weeks result
3/7/2019 8:28:59 AA21 18 winner not sure
3/7/2019 8:29:25 AA22 16 /
3/7/2019 8:29:26 AA23 26 It is a good number
3/7/2019 8:29:47 AA24 23 Based on last lab answer, I guess more students will lean towards a lower number, something around 35-40, 2/3 of that would be 20-26, average that you get 23
3/7/2019 8:30:54 AA25 18 winner Assumption that the average player will pick close to last week’s winning number
3/7/2019 8:31:33 AA26 25 –
3/7/2019 8:31:35 AA27 23 If every one knows the principle so the number could near 30, it times 0.6
3/7/2019 8:31:37 AA28 21 secret
3/7/2019 8:31:41 AA29 18 winner ?
3/7/2019 8:35:16 AA30 36 close to two thirds of the average

2/28/2019 16:17:20 B2 90 My birthday month – 100
2/28/2019 16:17:47 B3 95 Because it’s random
2/28/2019 16:18:29 B4 88 Year of my car
2/28/2019 16:18:48 B5 24 I like this number also I think the result probably less than 50.
2/28/2019 16:19:00 B6 72 birthday
2/28/2019 16:19:01 B7 33 2/3 of 100 would probably be around 32

2/28/2019 16:19:24 B9 40 what ever
2/28/2019 16:19:26 B10 28 just a guess
2/28/2019 16:19:36 B11 35 No reason in particular.
2/28/2019 16:19:53 B12 28 2 down from the winning guess from the previous class
2/28/2019 16:20:11 B13 32 I think it’s close to the average.
2/28/2019 16:20:12 B14 33 I figured if everyone chooses a variety of numbers, the average would be closest to 50, and two thirds of 50 is 33.
2/28/2019 16:20:28 B15 33 50 is the median, and 2/3 of 50 is 33
2/28/2019 16:20:30 B16 72 Purely a random guess
2/28/2019 16:20:42 B17 23 Random guess
2/28/2019 16:20:46 B18 35 Just placing the average at around 50~
2/28/2019 16:21:04 B19 36 100’s 2/3 is 66.7, maybe some people choose to pick the number between 60-70 or even less, so the number for 60’s 2/3 is 40
2/28/2019 16:21:04 B20 32 Roughly 2/3 of 50
2/28/2019 16:21:20 B21 28 the date of today
2/28/2019 16:21:30 B22 16 People will keep the previous answer in mind and choose smaller numbers
2/28/2019 16:21:55 B23 39 No number over 60 no number below 16.8 (43.2 number possible 43 for rounding) 60 – (42/2)
2/28/2019 16:21:55 B24 26 winner Guess
2/28/2019 16:22:40 B25 13 It’s lucky
2/28/2019 16:22:41 B26 26 winner The previous average was 30 with a full class of estimates, so I assume that with a slightly less than full class right now with 4 people missing, the average should come upto slightly less than before.
2/28/2019 16:22:47 B27 23 LOST
2/28/2019 16:23:32 B28 42 I dont like maths so i just guessed
2/28/2019 16:23:52 B29 44
: Responder updated this value. lucky guess (44.4 rounded down to 44)
2/28/2019 16:24:29 B30 65 There are around 35 people in the room, if half people chose 1-50, and the others choose 50-100, there may be a chance 13 people choose bigger number.

3/7/2019 16:16:58 BB6 18 past data
3/7/2019 16:17:03 BB7 23 Based off last weeks answer, I think the average will be around this number.
3/7/2019 16:17:10 BB8 20 …
3/7/2019 16:17:36 BB9 18 I think this number will getting smaller and smaller.
3/7/2019 16:17:49 BB10 13 I like this integer because it is also my favorite NBA player’s jersey number.
3/7/2019 16:17:50 BB11 30 2/3 of 50 (median) is 33, rounded down
3/7/2019 16:18:08 BB12 23 If last weeks number was 26, then this week it’s going to be slightly lower
3/7/2019 16:18:10 BB13 10 2/3*24*2/3
3/7/2019 16:18:11 BB14 15 winner Last time the correct answer is 26. Maybe most people will choose 26 this time . 26*(3/2) is 17. Some people will choose Higher or lower which may effect the answer.
3/7/2019 16:18:13 BB15 14 20 is Alavaro’s guess – 26 was the previous average – hence everyone might choose a lower than usual number
3/7/2019 16:18:33 BB16 13 favourite number
3/7/2019 16:18:34 BB17 13 According to last week’s result, I’m not confident that everyone’s rational.
3/7/2019 16:18:40 BB18 24 I think the ans probable less than 50, so I want to choose 24 or 26
3/7/2019 16:18:42 BB19 17 Other agents are likely to select a lower number than the previous time

3/1/2019 14:18:32 C1 56 Use Random Tools
3/1/2019 14:18:41 C2 35 Because this number is written on the table.
3/1/2019 14:19:08 C3 55 I think the number is not bad.
3/1/2019 14:19:14 C4 30 because the total is divided by 100 then multiplied by 2 thirds so the total is actually divided by 150. The previous average was 26 most people would try to make the average higher so instead of a total of roughly 4000, it would be closer to 4500 which comes out to roughly 30
3/1/2019 14:19:51 C5 32 a guess
3/1/2019 14:20:00 C6 16 I took thirds of last lectures answer as I thought people would pick a number around there then I took a couple points off it as I would think some people do similar to me
3/1/2019 14:20:03 C7 35 Just guessing

3/1/2019 14:20:19 C9 47 the final two integers of my student ID Number
3/1/2019 14:20:26 C10 35 Most of the people I’m surrounded with are 20-30 years old. People would think of their date of birth since it’s a number and that’s between 1 and 30. Since people are competing for a bonus mark, they would increase that number slightly.
3/1/2019 14:20:33 C11 73 I like this number
3/1/2019 14:20:45 C12 22 In the pacific the number 22 is referred to being a comedian. Plus its a powerful angel number. Making dreams a reality.
3/1/2019 14:20:49 C13 36 The average may around 50
3/1/2019 14:20:55 C14 32 Because I wanted to…
3/1/2019 14:21:08 C15 36 Take the approximate average number 50 and get the two third of 50 is 36
3/1/2019 14:21:12 C16 15 Was announced that the winner last time was 26, meaning the average was 39. Assuming people will go lower this time, the average will drop by 2/3, so 2/3 of 26 = 17. Going a little lower for safety.
3/1/2019 14:22:20 C17 15 intuitive judgement
3/1/2019 14:22:48 C18 13 Because 2 thirds is a parameter, the number must be below 66. Because all people want to get it right, it is unlikely that there will be guess less than 5. We have been told that the winning answer was around 20 last stream, this may affect peoples choices, and have most guesses around that mark.
3/1/2019 14:22:56 C19 17 I just java to code a program to get a average number with 50 integer, by this way I simulate the class room , after that I run the program multiple time, to get a averget result about 15-20

3/1/2019 14:23:16 C21 1 min number
3/1/2019 14:23:25 C22 16 I want to get the addition mark.
3/1/2019 14:23:34 C23 28 28 is two-thirds of 42.
3/1/2019 14:24:08 C24 8 As the previous average was about 26, people may pick a number close to 4/9 to 26 that might be the average so I chose a number close to 2/3 of this average
3/1/2019 14:24:10 C25 25 just guess
3/1/2019 14:25:24 C26 50 beacuse i can
3/1/2019 14:26:28 C27 19 winner Not over 66, because there wouldn’t be an average of 100. higher than 17 because the last lab’s average was ~34 (ans 26.1). Must also be lower than 50 because I think 50 is still too high an average.
