This post won't have much to do with maths or how to create truly random sequences. Instead, I'm suggesting you visit A Random Number and pick a number. If you read further there, you'll find out what's being done with our input. I thought it sounded like fun.

I entered 67. I'm curious to what this experiment may reveal.

I object 
It might sound odd... But I also entered 67. And that was before your post...

This is worrying.

"Do you consider yourself a right-brained or left-brained individual?"

Aw man, what do you do when you consider yourself some of both?
EDIT: Nvm, it was in the FAQ. Still, I couldn't really choose between those.

I chose 64... 60 seems to be a strangely attractive number.

Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice. 
I've chosen 61. We, dinkers, have something to do with numbers 60+

Well, I know that when people get to choose a number between 1 and 4 (1 and 4 included), they often choose 3, because people tend to choose numbers in the middle, but they feel 2 is too close to 1. Extremes, like 1 and 4 in this case, are seldomly chosen. So I guess most people will choose numbers 30-69.

Did it accept pi?

I picked 96. I guess I like to type the number 6.

I wonder how many people will choose 69 or 88.

"I entered a fractional number, aren't I creative?
I am sad to say that I totally forgot to make the database support fractional numbers. If you entered a number with a decimal, everything after the decimal was simply cut off. So all of you 3.14 guys actually submitted 3. Sorry. That would have been an interesting statistic. "

It didn't mention it otherwise. It probably just converted it into hexadecimal though and rounded down or something...
