This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

@Rajdeep Dhingra , When are you planning to release the solution manual? And the results?
Can you tell the numbers you had chosen?

First see Jihoon Kang's Note, he has shown that people, when they normally think of a random number, tend to think of an odd number.
My experiment shows that when people are asked to choose 2 random numbers, they choose 2 of different parities

I saw it. I had chosed 1and2. Good experiment! (y)
That's 5:3 till now :)

If we gather enough samples, we can use statistics to test hypotheses to reject or accept whether or not people indeed do chose 2 of different parities

I got 0, I chose an odd and a odd. Funnily enough, both prime :). Good experiment.
