    Default Test your approximate number sense

    You need to take the test 25 times to get a reasonably accurate estimate. I scored ~75%.

    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    online poker players, especially those that multi-table, should be off the charts percentage wise at this game

    25 times 92%

    was 15/15 at one point.

    --This is an excellent tool for demonstrating variance to our noobs.

    I just did a test of 30 times pushing "Blue" and see that I'm only 33% on a coinflip. STUPID FCKING VARIANCE
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    That's what I shoulda done. I was 20 for 20 then missed two of the last five to end up at 92%
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    92% for 25. 22/25 correct answer was yellow. Rigged!
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.
