I picked a number and was hoping to see the current results for which numbers were picked most often.

Instead I got a message "Science thanks you."

How about if you want something from the user, you give something back.



"Science thanks you" made me smile. So I got something back.


Science thanks you.

There you go, another smile :)


Honestly I wasn't expecting to get so many number picks so fast. The plan was to start putting together an analysis page once I got enough data, which I thought would be a couple weeks. I'm going to try and get one together as soon as possible.

Edit: Just had to enable billing in AppEngine so it can keep going! Way more data than I ever expected.


An alternative idea would be to display a link to a page where the data will be displayed once it is ready. I agree that just getting a "Science thanks you" message feels a little like being cheated, but it didn't bother me because I knew I'd be coming back here and waiting for info about results.


Good idea. I just added an extra message at the end. The amount of data is a bit overwhelming.
