Continuing the discussion of "The World is Not Created by Genius", I wrote a Chinese blog and created a simple AJAX application to facilitate this game on the Internet. If you haven't read about the previous article, it is also good. You can play the game first.
The Game
- Gather a group of people (I have done it for you. Currently, at least 200 persons have entered their numbers already)
- Each person write down a number between 0 - 100
- Calculate the average of all these numbers
- The one who guessed closest to 2/3 of the average number wins
Here is the guess result of the latest 30 paticipants. Check out your position in the game. For explaination of the game, check out my previous article The World is Not Created by Genius.
P.S. AJAX make it very easy to create collaborative application like this, and embed it into a HTML page.
P.S. 2. Please pass the game on to invite more people to participate in the game. The more people involved, the more interesting the final result will be.

It is better to show the result in a new page. Otherwise, the last guesser will be a winner like me. :)
Hmm I agree and disagree... In a way you are right but I thought to be smart and say a bit less than the last number, result is that the total number is (of course) a bit lower than I said lol
