    Interesting. I thought what I chose at first would be the perfect candidate, but of course I forgot that /everyone/ was trying for second-most-common. I bet what I did that first time was actually the most common, because of that.

    The second time around, which doesn’t count, I got it right. Quite interesting. Wonder if it’ll still be like that three days from now.

    Does this track players using IP addresses? If I went and played this using every computer in my school’s computer lab, could I skew the results?

    Won on my third try, with what I thought would be most common.
    Are you planning to release the data on what patterns were common eventually?

    I’m not sure if that would serve the game too well, so I might not.

    I tried 10 or so times one day, forgot about this, came back today, and won on my fifth try. With this, I can safely say that I have accomplished much in my life.
