Guessing Game Pick a natural number from 1 to 100: 1, 2, 3, …,100 AND THE WINNER IS: The number closest to 2/3 rd of the average of all guesses. For instance: If average of class= 90 winner is number closest to 90*(2/3)=60 If average of class is 18 winner is number closest to 18*(2/3)=12

What is the theoretical prediction? 100→66→44→29→...
