Last week I was invited to visit my son's preschool classroom to tell them a little bit about my job. Of course as part of our discussion I went for the tried and true 'how many jelly beans are in this jar?'. Believe it or not all 21 of them made a reasonable guess and the mode of their guesses was actually 100 - the answer! Pretty cool, well at least to a statistician :-)
