7

Okay, if you're cool with it, I think we're done here.

Official guess: 7

noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

jk lol

7 is fine

Team 2: higher or lower?

Oh, and regarding Tom Hanks, 16 seems way too low on that spectrum for someone with 2 Oscars.

Clarification while we're waiting: Are the numbers distributed equally?

So a 1 would be the most dangerous job of all (assassin, Death Star Storm Trooper) and a 21 would be the least dangerous job (POG moderator). Yeah, there's some danger involved with being a farmhand, but rather than debate how dangerous that job is, how about if we come up with an idea of what the median job would be.

Most of any kind of professional athlete would be way to the left on the dangerous end. And do we differentiate between professional bull riders (more dangerous), NFL players (less dangerous), and NBA players (even less dangerous)?

Then there's the ice road truckers and the offshore oil rig workers. What about policemen and firemen? And the military?

On the other hand, do we need to differentiate between all of the different office jobs? Does the accounts payable guy at my office have any more danger than the receptionist? Not really.

I'm somewhat inclined to score higher than a 7, but I can be convinced otherwise.

I agree that 16 is too low for Hanks regardless of the methodology.

As far as distribution, I think it's up to the individual to come up with his own determination. Personally, I'm more of a bell-curve kind of a thinker, but others will have different definitions of the various scores.

Oh I didn't mean like that.

Question was for Nich, as in: Are we just as likely to get segment 12 as segment 21?

I agree with higher.

My bad on Tom Hanks. I guess I think of him as more of a likable actor than a great actor.

Would Joaquin Phoenix have been a better clue for 16?

Yeah I just spin the wheel while the cover is on a bunch and it lands where it lands

So the target space (4 points) is equally likely to end on any number.

I think Hanks is 18/19. Joaquin is probably a little higher than 16. For 16 I might go with Harvey Keitel or Edward Norton.

Don't think I'm any help atm

what's going on? it's been almost 40 hours for you guys to decide higher or lower

higher

you sure? i think you guys should take some more time to think about it

The target was 12.
Team 1 gets 0 points for guessing 7
Team 2 gets 1 point for higher
Score: 3-2

Jmurder is up with:

Useless in an emergency - Useful in an emergency

So I really dropped a bollock on this. I was thinking taxi driver at first, but, in the end though modern farm hand was quite safe. Sorry team- this is all on me

A Phonebook

so my accidental opposite guess of 14 was good lol

I dont know how much talking we should actually do before our guess or if it even matters at all. My initial range for phonebook is between 3 and 5.

You should all talk it out and agree and then bold once you agree

don't give our team too much info!!! especially me! i probably have a completely idiotic idea, and you guys might enlighten me

i can think of TONS of emergency situations where you really need a phone book. tons!
