The Number Game

[Odbe]

In this game you post a number and the next person says something that is that number or value and then posts a number for the next person. You need not be completely sure that your number is accurate; estimates are okay. Also you can use units (lengths, percentages, degrees, pi radians) but nothing that you wouldn't usually use like oranges. If you always measure things by lining up oranges next to them then that's okay.

For example, if the number is 5:
Poster 1:
Number of people in my house right now.

385

Poster 2:
Number of snails in my garden.

92%

Poster 3:
Likelihood that I will have to use public transport tomorrow.
and so on.

The first number will be 64.
