I was thinking that this game would pretty much only measure (belief of)* rationality, but now I see that it measures (belief of)* honesty to a good degree as well. By guessing 100, one is being dishonest.
No it is not, especially since cousin_it has upfrontly told us what he values. You are assuming that everyone who submits has a utility function that highly values winning this game, which, given the comments around here, seems to not be true (or is at least widely believed to not be true).
Don't confuse 'has different values than I' with 'irrational'.
Or just plain wrong.
