Is anyone else reading too much into this???
Is it not perculiar that 30 seconds is relevant to the question in ... question?
Is it a subliminal message to swiftly pick a number that sounds familiar to the 30 seconds that you have just read???
i'll get my coat shall i?

I picked 17 and my OH picked 39 
I have my own theory though - I don't think expats are a typical 80% of the population. We must have a screw loose somewhere to put ourselves through all the stress

I never read the question properly and got 29, then I read down and realised I'd messed it up, so tried it on OH. He picked 17.
I'm annoyed now that I can't test myself.

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 got 13 and then I asked hubby but he told me that the answer is meant to be 37! His theory: when asked between 1 - 50 most people go to 2 (jumping upwards) but then say 1st one must be odd so go to 3. , I didnt though, I went downwards
Maybe its meant to test our positive and negative outlook
Or am I analysing this too much?
