Description:How do you feel about the number ten? Chances are, you have never given it any thought. How, then, do you feel about the number eleven? Given a choice between the numbers ten and eleven, which do you prefer? Which "feels" better? If you indicated a preference for ten, you chose with the majority. Selections from similar pairs of numbers will yield majority preferences for the EVEN numbers from each pair. Explanations for this curious phenomenon are rooted deep within the human psyche and are based on complex relationships between our minds and our physical bodies. These explanations, while interesting, are unimportant here. What is important is that: WHEN NO OTHER FACTORS ARE AT WORK, PEOPLE APPARENTLY PREFER EVEN NUMBERS.
