Pick a number between 1 and 10!

At first I thought we were supposed to pick a number between 1 and 10 factorial. So I was prepared to pick some very large number, but I was disappointed ;-)

I chose 4 and 91.

Also, one of my old roommates used to do a "fake" card trick where he would have a person pick a card, then do all kinds of crazy flourishes like letting the other person shuffle once or twice, doing the 52 card pickup, then finally getting all the cards straight and pulling a random card from the deck and asking "is this your card?"

51/52 of the time he just made the person laugh, but 1/52 of the time the person thought he was the best card magician in the history of card magic

if that worked on me i would feel like i just got pwned.
 
Why do people not understand the difference?

Between 1 and 10: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
From 1 to 10: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Between 1 and 10, inclusive: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

It's even more annoying than when people call 300 "3 times more" than 100.
(It's either "3 times"=300% as much, or "2 times"=200% more.)

This has been a public service announcement (disguised as a complaint) by Lucas Garron.

Would you like me to change the the title/description of the poll?
