  1. I would have expected that people wouldn't pick numbers at the extremes (1 and 100), at least not if they pick one by random. A random number would likely be closer to the middle. I would have expected a gaussian distribution. Or maybe they don't want to be exactly in the middle, so also a valley in the middle, so maybe the sum of two gaussains around 33 and 67. But since people obviously pick 1 and 100 think like me, as long as there are more people than 1 in 100, it's likely they would still be picked above average.

  2. I like the number 720720. It's the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 1 to 2^4

  3. What I like about 37 is that 111 is divisible by it.

  4. I like the number 47, since 4 is 7 mirrored along a diagonal, and 7 is the smalllest prime number, which I've never seen to be part of any number base (decimal, seximal, octal, binary, etc.)
