SigmaCan we approach a normal distribution with µ = 0 and σ = 1?
Please share so we get a pretty graph. ^^"

Walter Tross@sigmasternchen I think people don't pay enough attention to that σ = 1 part
@waltertross My guess is that most people don't use a random number generator, but just create one in their head. And humans suck at randomness. ^^"
Ianhopkinson@sigmasternchen @waltertross I felt using a generator was not in the spirit of the exercise. You may be in the process of creating a distribution unknown to science!
@ianhopkinson @waltertross ^^ I don't really have a preference how people choose. It’s just a fun experiment anyway.
… Actually that’s not true: I hope they choose without looking at the current state first. ^^

Colorblind Cowboy@sigmasternchen @ianhopkinson @waltertross Wait, are we trying to get a bell curve? My knowledge of math skills is lacking — but that’s what I thought. Anyway, I’m glad my vote didn’t mess up the symmetrical distribution.
@colorblindcowboy @ianhopkinson @waltertross Yep, a bell curve with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
