A Dataset of Humanity’s Favourite Numbers

Author(s: Oliver Keyes, based on the work of Alex Bellos License: Creative Commons Public Domain Release (CC-0) Status: Stable

Alex Bellos ran a poll to find the world’s favourite number, receiving over 30,000 responses. This R package contains the dataset, formatted as a data.frame, in the hope that it will be useful for (for example) exploring analogues to the birthday problem. And just because it’s fun.
