Hunch #33 is live · 8 new questions
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.
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 8Calendars, odds, doubling, money left to grow: every answer is worked out by arithmetic, not looked up, so it is never a trivia trap.
Type a low and a high you are 80% sure the answer sits between. "2 million", "3e9", "1.5k" and "45%" all work.
Inside your range? Up to 10 points: the tighter the bracket, the more. Outside it? Zero, and the working shows why.
Each day draws eight families at random, so no two days feel the same. Today's mix:

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.)
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.
