Hunch #33 is live · 8 new questions

Guess boldly.
Be wrong less.

A daily estimation game. You never give one number: you give a range you are 80% sure of. Narrow hits score big, misses score nothing, and the Nitwit Meter shows whether you are as sure as you should be.

DiceQuestion 1 of 8

You roll one fair six-sided die 2 times. What is the chance, in percent, of rolling at least one six?

your range goes here → low and high, 80% sure

Answer all 8

How a Hunch works

  1. 1

    Read the question

    Calendars, odds, doubling, money left to grow: every answer is worked out by arithmetic, not looked up, so it is never a trivia trap.

  2. 2

    Bracket it

    Type a low and a high you are 80% sure the answer sits between. "2 million", "3e9", "1.5k" and "45%" all work.

  3. 3

    See where it landed

    Inside your range? Up to 10 points: the tighter the bracket, the more. Outside it? Zero, and the working shows why.

Ten kinds of question. Eight a day.

Each day draws eight families at random, so no two days feel the same. Today's mix:

  • CalendarDays between two dates
  • ClockworkSeconds, minutes and hours
  • DoublingThings that double every day
  • InterestMoney left to grow
  • BirthdaysShared-birthday odds
  • DiceChances with fair dice
  • Head mathsBig sums and products
  • FoldingPaper folded in half, again
  • OrdersArrangements and choices
  • PackingCubes in a box

58% inside your ranges? Too sure of yourself.

Meet the Nitwit Meter

If you are really 80% sure each time, about 8 in 10 answers should land inside your ranges. The meter reads your last 40 answers:

  • Overconfident fewer than 6 in 10 inside. Widen up.
  • Calibrated right about where you said. Nicely done.
  • Overcautious nearly all inside, but with huge ranges. Be braver.

The only nitwit here is the version of you from last week who was sure the room needed 180 people for even odds of a shared birthday. (23 is enough.)

Play with your people

Start a league, send the 8-character code to the family group chat, and everyone's daily score lands on one board. Names are generated (you might be Plucky Walrus 42), so nobody types anything and there is nothing to moderate.
