There's no typical starting number for "killing time." It really depends on what you're doing and what you find entertaining! Here are a few ideas, playing off your initial sequence: Counting down from a large number

Start at 1000 and count down to 1. You could add rules like only counting even numbers or skipping every third number to make it more challenging.

Counting by a different interval

Count up or down by 3s, 7s, 11s, or any other number.

Counting specific things around you

Count the number of blue items you see, the number of words on a page, or the number of cars that pass by.

Random number generation: Use a random number generator online and see where it takes you. You could use each number generated to determine an action or direction.Really, the best starting number is whatever pops into your head! Have fun killing time! Flag for review
