About

The Daily Hunch is three small guessing games that reset every day at midnight, your local time.

Where the answers come from

Paycheck uses national median yearly wages from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, 2025 release), as published on O*NET OnLine. The median is the middle of the range: half of workers earn more, half earn less.

Name Peak uses the Social Security Administration's lists of the 200 most popular baby names in each decade. The answer is the decade with the most babies given that name. We only include names whose top decade is clear from those lists.

Patent Pending mixes real U.S. patents, each linked to its record on Google Patents, with inventions we made up. Patent drawings are public domain.
