Being the great conformist I am, as soon as it mentioned plural digits I plumped for 33 thinking it was in my best interest...

I just follow the instructions. It said "a" which is singular:blink:

Everything from 10 to infinity is also "a" number. :)

I was thinking of the psychology of the question.

So: question was: Think of a number between 1 and 50

But point 1. make sure BOTH numbers are odd numbers (therefore, you're already thinking double digits)

Point 2. The number 1 is just the number 1, no-one thinks its an odd number, whats the first odd number you think of.... 3

Point 3. Okay you've got your first odd number, gotta think of another one. It can't be 3, you've just done that, so 5? Nope, 5 is too obvious. Lets go with 7.

Thats my theory anyway

I chose the number 3:blink:

I did say EACH number should be odd, implying 2 numbers

I read it as both numbers must be odd so plumbed for 11 the first odd double digit number. I read it to the O/H & she said 57 first time. After a "moment":o she realized & said 35

Fancy blaming the kids:rolleyes: At least I admit I'm stoopid:lol:

The psycology is in the responses I reckon. The numbers are a disguise;)
