In particular, I’m curious whether anyone picked a number higher than twenty-five—what would you call that, a zero-leveler?
I played this game twice before; once with a high-school group and once with a collegiate. Based on those, I would be totally not surprised if a non-trivial number of people picked numbers between 50 and 100. Note that they are not picking 100 for trolling value but rather some 2/3-ish sounding number, like 70. They constitute the “not-quite-grasping-the-game-mechanics” group.
