The hat guessing number of a graph. Suppose that each vertex of a graph corresponds to a player, wearing a hat whose color is arbitrarily chosen from a set of $q$ possible colors. Each player can see the hat colors of his neighbors, but not his own hat color. All of the players are asked to guess their own hat colors simultaneously, according to a predetermined guessing strategy and the hat colors they see, where no communication between them is allowed. The hat guessing number $HG(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest integer $q$ such that there exists a guessing strategy guaranteeing at least one correct guess for any hat assignment of $q$ possible colors. Because it suffices that a single player guesses correctly, the hat guessing number of a graph is the maximum of the hat guessing numbers of its connected components.

The number of ones in a binary word. This is also known as the Hamming weight of the word.

The row containing the largest entry of a standard tableau.

The number of factors in the Catalan decomposition of a binary word. Every binary word can be written in a unique way as $(\mathcal D 0)^\ell \mathcal D (1 \mathcal D)^m$, where $\mathcal D$ is the set of Dyck words. This is the Catalan factorisation, see [1, sec.9.1.2]. This statistic records the number of factors in the Catalan factorisation, that is, $\ell + m$ if the middle Dyck word is empty and $\ell + 1 + m$ otherwise.

The number of critical steps in the Catalan decomposition of a binary word. Every binary word can be written in a unique way as $(\mathcal D 0)^\ell \mathcal D (1 \mathcal D)^m$, where $\mathcal D$ is the set of Dyck words. This is the Catalan factorisation, see [1, sec.9.1.2]. This statistic records the number of critical steps $\ell + m$ in the Catalan factorisation. The distribution of this statistic on words of length $n$ is $$(n+1)q^n+\sum_{\substack{k=0\\\text{k even}}}^{n-2} \frac{(n-1-k)^2}{1+k/2}\binom{n}{k/2}q^{n-2-k}.$$
