The game theory one is easy. Put down 999,999,999,999 factorial. Then everyone got it wrong, and the curve will reflect that.
Joke is on you, I wrote Tree(Tree(3))
My strategy is still working, though, and you’ve now (all but) guaranteed that my answer is the closest to the correct answer.
Basically, write down the biggest number you can think of
Only if it’s “10 more” in the sense that anything bigger than that is also accepted. If you need to hit 57, because the average is 47, then yeah, good luck.
The goal in the upstream comment wasn’t to get the answer right for you, it’s to skew the average so badly that nobody gets it right, and the bell curve adjusts accordingly for everyone.
Not a bad strategy to be honest
That’s why it’s always between 1 and 100. Never seen one without an upper and lower bound.
