Really neat! Usually, the average estimation process converges quite closely to the correct answer. I think you can notice that in the first guess!

oh no! did you get it working?

Nope - this is it. Maybe because I am on a (work-related) VPN? No idea...

Looking at the stats after playing, the median third guess is currently spot on?! Turns out people are really good at this game

aukspot@piefed.social · 2 pts · 1y

that happens with some puzzles! a lot of the time the median will be on the low side

I've learned I'm not great at this game lol. I seemed to consistently guess really low across several different challenges

Me too, I just started adding 20% to my.initial guesses and going from there.

Got some right on by taking a section and counting then muktiplying by how many rough sections.
