Well 7 is my favourite number, but I have never heard it being a religious number. It has been my favourite number for as long as I can remember, and my uprising was not religious (thank you mom and dad for that 🙂).
 
I dont know, I didnt know 8.5 was an option and I chose a number before I clicked to see the stuff to choose from.🙁

3: Holy trinity
7: Resting on the 7th day, 7 plagues, etc.
6 is a number of man, so 6 * 7 (42 for those who can't count 😉) is a meeting of the humanly and godly.

Etc. Load of BS.

What I meant was that I didn't know that stuff when I picked 7 as my favourite number as a kid (dunno how that happened), but I do know it now. I wasn't really exposed to religious stuff as a kid, so that couldn't have affected my decision.

alright guys thanks for posting in the thread.

basically i just wanted to prove my teacher and my entire class wrong. they said they were 100% sure that in a random test, most people would pick 7. they claimed that they were SURE over 75% of people would pick 7.


i could not think of a better place to go than ATOT to get a poll. thanks for participating.

they were SURE over 75% of people would pick 7. technically, he disproved them. 23.48% picked 7. although I'm not sure how scientific this was. I'm sure if someone told you, verbally to pick a number 1-10, no one would pick 8.5.
 
actually before i did this, i walked around the halls in school asking the exact same set of numbers and i got, not the same, but similarly disproving results. they were totally wrong and this proves it.


 
whenever someone asks me to pick a number I always pick 7. Not because its lucky or whatever but since I was born on a 7th day of a certain month, ;p

danny~!

hey lifer, welcome back. 🙂


I wish I could have bet some money on this test because the odd of 75% picking 1 number out of 10 different ones is stacked pretty well in your favor. This threads is about gambling, right? 😉

Sure you weren't exposed to a catholic priest? :Q 😉

Anyway, then you were one of the people who actually chose it randomly 🙂
