I want to see if the "choose a number" magic trick works

[TheNinja]

New score:

5- 37
1- 35
1- 31
1- 19
1- 17
1- 15
1- 13
1- dumbass

Although I'm not sure how many people are being honest and reading ahead so it is kind of hard to tell. You just can't trust ATOTers to be honest these days.....sad really

35 was my first thought. 13 was the first number I committed too.
Seems like these are the only options:

11 (same digit = out)
13
15
17
19
31
33 (Same digit = out)
35
37
39

I thought of 13 first then 17 then 37

5- 37
2- 13
1- 35
1- 31
1- 19
1- 17
1- 15
1- dumbass

Well the results fell apart at the end a little bit but:

There are only 8 possible answers: 13, 15, 17, 19, 31, 35, 37, 39 and statistics show that a vast majority of people will choose 37. So go out and ask somebody that question and tell them they are thinking of 37 and you'll more than likely be correct. If you aren't you'll look like a retard though.

Damnit, I shouldn't have said "the first number you think of", I should have said "think about the possibilities and then CHOOSE a number". People might not think of 37 first but they will more often than not choose 37....probably b/c it is towards the middle of 1-50 although I don't know the real reason for it.

The only options are 13,15,17,19,31,35,37,39. Most people tend to avoid the limits when asked "pick a number between 1 and 10, so that only leaves four options that the majority of people will pick.

Just curios, but why isn't 21 and 25 and 27 an option? 23 and 29 also for that matter...

First digit must be either 1 or 3. Second digit must be 5, 7 or 9, possibly 3 for the former first digit, and one for the latter.
