Quick question GB.
Is the number selected a completely random number - or does it have some significance to you or someone/something else?
I have been reading about Gregory Treverton ideas about puzzles and mysteries, and last night was wondering if this was a puzzle of sorts, if it was possible to figure out what number you selected.
e.g. the Mayan date 13.0.0.0.0 is 21 December 2012 - so 1300 would be a good guess. Or maybe some combination of your birthday or anniversary or postal code if someone possibly knew that etc.
Did you select a completely random number or a number with a narrative?
Thanks 🙂

Terrific question.
1) No.
2) Yes.
3) Random number generator trial and error within the parameter range; rational process of deductive/inductive reasoning; synthesis and/or elimination of variables, no. Intuitively, maybe.
4) No comment (though these considerations you suggest may or may not apply directly to me. Please understand that I do not wish to overcomplicate or mislead).
5) Please see 1) -4) above.

If a number has no narrative, isn't that its narrative? 🙄
