Halfwits
Halfwits is a daily number game where you enter a numeric estimate for a statistic, a teammate also gives a number, and the two answers are averaged into a single score that is graded out of 100.
Play HalfwitsA fresh puzzle is waiting for you.
Halfwits presents a single new numeric question each day. Players submit a numeric guess for a real-world statistic or quantity. Your submitted number is paired with another player’s number, and the two values are averaged to produce the final team answer that determines your score. The site displays a score out of 100 for that averaged result.
You can play with friends or be matched with random players when you do not have someone to team with. The interface lets you pick a display name and shows your friends’ scores. There is an archive of past puzzles, so previous daily questions and results are recorded and can be revisited. Each puzzle is locked in when you submit your guess.
