How many times does the average person laugh per day?

~30× more likely in company
Habits

The often-quoted figures (adults 15 times a day, children 300) have no traceable study behind them; Robert Provine, who studied laughter for decades, said nobody has actually counted. What is well documented: laughter is about 30 times more frequent in company than alone, and most of it follows ordinary remarks rather than jokes.
