Compared to last year (<a href=\"https:\/\/areteem.org\/blog\/guess-and-win-update-from-the-la-science-fair-booth\/\">see here for the summary for 2023<\/a>) the fact that people had to try to submit a value different from everyone else seems to have greatly affected people&#8217;s strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>From the 68 guesses, 63 different values were guessed. The only repeats were $1.02 (guessed three times) and $1.08, $1.13, and $2.00 (each guessed twice).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only one person submitted a guess of $1.00 and the next lowest unique guess was $1.03 (no one guessed $1.01!).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compared to 2023, there were substantially fewer repeated guesses. In 2023, 10 people submitted exactly $1.00 and an additional 5 people submitted $1.01.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The average of all the valid guesses was $25.09.
