adium··on Ask HN: Those 'employed' do you see no other resort?
I'm the opposite. The stress of finding contracts or not getting an income until I do, managing the sales, business, and financial side of things almost more than what I liked about being self-employed.

I'm also thinking it would need to be at least a couple hundred people to be classified as a town. Which then the odds of someone subconsciously counting a number that high in their head is unlikely.

In a classroom with 30 people right now and I couldn't tell you how many of each gender there are unless I actively try. If that meant certain death, why would I count?

Why can't the visitor say "There are X red, X blue, and 1 yellow?" No one knows about the yellow, thinks it is themself, they all commit suicide on the spot.
adium··on Show HN: Readsure – Pass a quiz that shows you read an article before commenting
