I'm curious if they've sanitized their inputs on the back end. Interestingly, you seem to be able to vote for arbitrarily high numbers or arbitrarily small ones and get the same response as a real vote. I tested, and lets just say that unless they've got more than 100,000 voters, the correct number may end up being well above 100 from that vote alone.
This is an interesting experiment. I just hope they've accounted for little bobby tables.

Hope they don't take that seriously, or else the correct number is now essentially 3↑↑↑3, as that's what I voted for.
NPR's Planet Money is running an experiment which could be an interesting way to test your other-people-modeling skills.
This is a guessing game. To play, pick a number between 0 and 100. The goal is to pick the number that's closest to half the average of all guesses.

The other people guessing are self-selected, I would assume primarily NPR listeners.
