Ooh, perfect! I was rooting for you to pick just below 50 in the background haha
which meant that this is spot on!In the PM, I wrote:I take 50 as the average human weight. I think while the graph from 0 to 100 might be logarithmic, around the middle 20 it's probably more linear since they're basing around their own weight.
Apologies if the clue is quite obtuse! Perhaps "a 13-year-old" might be more straightforward, but I looked for things that weigh around 100 pounds and the toilet came firstIn post 510, Xtoxm wrote:im not sure what be the benchmark 50. human weight maybe? which is like 55kg avg.
in which case i could see toilet being under. we could go like 45.
Hmm, I thought 40's a good guess, so I'm not sure where to go, actually. My gut kinda says lower because it's quite easy to imagine things that are louder than conversations, but not so much for quieter things.
The picture even says that 60 dB is moderate to quiet, so it's probably closer to the quiet end.

So, apart from myself, we have one strong right (Auro), one leaning right (Tatsuya), one strong left (Knightmare), one leaning left (Xtotm), and one who thinks it's left but would advise on going right based on past records (northsidegal).
Personally, I'd vouch for left. It's interesting because I'd provide "talking" as a clue if I had received something around 40, so it's clear that the psychic had a different sense of scale in mind. Basing on that, I really don't think talking is something you'd classify as being loud. 60's too high of a number for "talking" to be the clue, imo. It implies that it's more loud than quiet, and I don't buy that. Human speech isn't that loud in the grand scheme of things.
Then again, the guess was 43, and it's possible that the answer is something like 50. I could totally see how the psychic would designate human speech as a baseline, similar to how I designated human weight as the baseline last time.
We do still have a day, so more discussion is welcome. The balance tips slightly to the left, currently.

I'm very unsure about how to approach this.
The first sentence on the Wikipedia article is "Martensite is a very hard form of steel crystalline structure", so I'm inclined to guess low. But then when I try to search for "hardest minerals" or "hardest metals", I don't seem to find anything on it.
The clue's really specific, so there must be a lead that she wants us to take, but the obvious one would be 85, and surely she would give a more stereotypically soft clue for a number that high?
I would think it's in the teens with that kind of description.

To me, there's an obvious guess to make if we just wanna secure 2 points, and that's 35, which would cover bullseyes from 20-25 up to 45-50.
But I feel like I should at least try to make a proper guess. If he just wanted to clue in an F1 racer, I'd think around 25, however seeing the discussion from Knight has convinced me to shift it to the right a little. In a regular round I'd guess 30.

You know the game high-low where you guess a number and the one being guessed says higher or lower? The wordiness of the clue made me think that.
Starting from 50,
- lightly jogging up (lower: guess 25)
- a kind of steep incline (higher: guess 37)
- in semi-cold weather (lower: guess 31)
- while it's raining (higher: guess 34)

idk tho it's a very handwavy kind of logic and i'm not even sure i got the high/low correctly
Sorry for the delay. (Happy scumday, lilith!)
There was a long piece of text here but that's because I thought that the clue goes hand in hand with what you think of teams in general, when in reality they can be two separate opinions. In that case, I think 30 is a good spot for it. I'll lock it later if there are no objections.
