What about 57
Comment on Ask ChatGPT to pick a number between 1 and 100
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months agoIf you discount the pop-culture numbers (for us 7, 42, and 69) its the number most often chosen by people if you ask them for a random number between 1 and 100. It just seems the most random one to choose for a lot of people. Veritasium just did a video about it.

I’m curious about that too. Something is twisting weights for 57 fairly strongly in the model but I’m not show what. Maybe its been trained on a bunch of old Heinz 57 varieties marketing.

Another fun fact: if you ask people to pick 2/3rds of a number everyone else picks when asked the same question, the correct number is drumroll 24.

I don’t like the inclusion of 37%, it’s 1/e that isn’t even 37%, is only that because of a pretty arbitrary rounding. Veritasium videos are usually OK, but this one is pretty meh.

Is there some human sciences theory as to why?

Sorry but pop culture from were? I don’t recognize any of those numbers.

Lucky number 7.
42 is the meaning of life in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
And 69…nice!
I’m guessing this is for US and UK culture? Probably a lot of other former and current English colonies

It’s not the meaning of life. It’s the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. Nobody knows what the Question is.

37 is my favorite, because 3x7x37=777 (three sevens), and I think that’s neat.
mitrosus@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Wrong. Two hints:
7x7=9 at the end, not 7.
30x30=900, already more than 777.
jarfil@beehaw.org 8 months ago
One hint: 3x7=21, 21x37=777.
When in doubt, use a calculator.
mitrosus@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Oh I am sorry. I did not see the x sign between 3 and 7. Lol.
RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
? My calculator definitely thinks that 3x7x37=777. Did you read it as 37x37 instead?
mitrosus@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Yes. Thanks. Sorry.

You don’t even need a calculator for a quick calculation, take the closest value of 10: 3x7=21x37 or easier 20x40 = 800 which is close to the actual number, 777.
