    Default Guess the length

    taped it on stream yesterday. Know it down to the 1/8 inch. Is astounding the variety of guesses. Guy holding fish has big hands.

    Based on a typical 1" length of the distal bone of the human index phalange, I scale it at 14".

    My guess is 16.23. In case any of you mathematical types are wondering that is the average of the previous 4 guesses. If the wisdom of the crowd works my guess should be very close to the actual length of the fish.

    I'm satisfied that my method worked. I was less than an inch off.

    At 17 1/8" and being taken out of a stream, that is one heck of a nice fish.

    I did this challenge on three areas....guesses varied from 23 to 13.

    is amazing the varied guesses.

    My estimate was based on a very small sample. If you got a lot of guesses I think if you added them all up and divided them to get the average the answer you'd get would be pretty close.
