But does it come down to Danielle and Aras at the end? I picked Danielle to be the winner, and I think that should get some credit. She was a long shot.

If you were going to pick one of the numbers based on some kind of psychological assumption, I would think that guessing the age of Shane's son would be a good one. Or perhaps his birthday. 4 is not a very good guess for the freeloading (now rich) bum - but 10 was even dumber. Brian – you nailed it.

If he had a number in his head and he just wanted to see who would get cloest then no big deal (see below). Otherwise, maybe he was asking because he wanted to psychoanalyze each player. Maybe he thought a person is strange if they pick an odd number - an even number meaning a person isn't odd? Or, what about a person who thinks about numbers in the 6 digit range versus a person who thinks below the number 100 - doesn't that say anything about a person? Anyway, if I guessed first I, I suppose I would pick 500,000 - since I'd have a 50% chance of having the closest guess. If I guessed second, (and the first guess was 4) I would guess 5.
