Can you outsmart everyone else?

$\color{#D61F06} { \text{This discussion is now locked. No further entries will be considered.}}$

Thanks everyone who participated. For those of you who were waiting to snipe at the last possible moment, tough luck.

You can discuss strategies and results in this discussion.

The goal is to post a (real) number from 0 to 100 (inclusive) that is closest to 0.9 times the average of every number posted.

Clearly, the later you post the more information you will get. However, the catch is that this discussion will be closed at some time within the next 24-48 hours, and no further entries will be accepted.

Participation rules:
1) Your entry should be a reply to my comment "Post your entries here".
2) Only 1 entry per person.
3) You can post whenever this note is live. It will be locked within the next 24-48 hours.
4) You may not edit your entry.
5) Have fun!

Feel free to make comments discussing this topic, or advocating people to post a certain number.

FunFact: As far as I know, in the whole of the English Language, the only words that have $3$ consecutive repeated letters are "bOOKKEEp" and its other forms. (e.g. "bookkeeping" and "bookkeeper".)
