Hmmmm... Moderating Under the Influence? 
Here is the conundrum: if you go first, you have a 1/11 chance of getting the right number. Because that person is not likely to get it correct, if you go second, you have a 1/10 chance of getting it right. That, too, is a relatively small chance of getting it right, so if I wait and go third, its a 1/9 chance...
I think there is some statistical formula to figure out the optimal time to guess, but I'm going to make my guess right now anyway.

There are only so many times you can drop a " " in the forums, so I feel the need to seize every opportunity  .
And I'm wrong... that is what happens when you go first. |

I put between 0 & 11 because I wanted to say between 1 & 10, but that means it wouldn't be 1 or 10 which it isn't necessesarily, but...I dunno...where was I going with this?
Oh, it's NOT 0 or 11! |

You would just need to say "between 1 and 10, inclusive".
I submit this as more proof that our Mod is MUI... |
