Mini-lotto

It works just like this:

Pick a number on the above poll.

POST what you think the winning number will be in the thread within 24 hours of this post.

The poll will close in seven days.

Posts tonight and tomorrow are the only valid number picks.

-And yes, I'm just curious to see what happens.

I pick 4.

I picked.... well, maybe I shouldn't say. It might work better if our picks were unknown. I sure wouldn't want to sway the voting with my considerable FTE presence!

5 it is.
I assume "zero" is not a number.

Lemmeee guesss...

You from San Diego?

If I remember right - one through nine are real numbers, zero is a whole number, negative integers are rational numbers, and the square root of minus one is an irrational number.

Therefore we can have numbers which are real, whole, rational, or irrational...

Among others.

We are dealing with REAL numbers here.

I wonder when the theory of Relative, Quantum, and recurring numbers will be mentioned?

I may list PI as a choice later on...

I went with 4, it's always been my lucky number. It's the only number that matches the number of letters in the word.

On Edit: That really didn't make sense. #4 - four letters, #3 - five letters. Four is the only number like that.
