CD myth busters: A magical experiment with numbers, 1 million volunteers required (check, average)

[Fresh.Oxygen.1]

If 1 million people are asked to choose a random number between 1 and 50 (both included: [1,50]), the average of all the responses is very likely to be near 25. We have an excellent tool to see whether this is a myth or a reality. However, for such an experiment, we need huge sample spaces. In other words, if atleast 1 million CD members reply with their chosen random number, it is very likely that the average of all such responses is closer to the number 25....

Hey, letz try it out. Reply with ur chosen number between 1 and 50 (both inclusive). We will check the average after every 1000 replies... (Hope its a Gaussian curve)

Have fun!

Let me start it for you. My number is:

2

(Please keep adding the numbers with commas (2, 45, 33, 22, 1, 9, etc...), so that we can easily paste them into Excel and find the average....)
