I'd pick about 12.

The whole point is that you don't tell anyone what you pick

Do you know what the best number to choose is?

comment by Obers (U3904)

Most people in my opinion would choose either between 30-50 or 90-99 just a psychological thing.

Therefore I change my answer to 44.

Obers I doubt that. So are you saying the average would be 66?

17 is nice too

JNR yes. I highly doubt when the range is 1-100 many people would opt for single digit numbers.

More likely to psychologically choose a higher number if the last thing you hear before deciding is '100'.

Oh crap I thought the people just chose a number between 1-100 at random and you just have to guess 2/3 of the average. My bad.

In that case, I'd probably say 14.

If you know everyone is rational, and you know that they know that you're rational, then the best choice would be to choose 1. Because the maximum possible average is 67 (if everyone chooses a 100). So no one will choose anything above 67. With that in mind the maximum possible average is 44 (if everyone chooses 67). So no one will choose anything above 44. With that in mind that maximum.... and the process repeats until you get to 1.

Unfortunately not everyone is rational which is why the most likely average would around 10-20.

Oh and I should've mentioned, the best choice is 1 because if everyone picks it, everyone wins.

BK you do know there's a huge branch of mathematics called game theory?

Silly name

Not really. It's all about 'games.'

I can't believe people think that changing one specific moment in the past would change only that instance in time and everything else would remain the same.

Chelsea FC ‏@chelseafc
Abuse on social networks is abhorrent. Racist tweets towards Mikel are totally unacceptable. Police informed. #CFC supports strongest action

Disappointing

Most changes would go unnoticed. Obviously if you kill an ancestor of a present person then the whole family tree from that point would cease to exist. But slight differences would make little impact.

Wow this Mikel saga has gone way too far. So he made a mistake which cost us a goal, so what? Every goal scored is because of a mistake by the opposition.
