OK, my aswer:
one of the ten numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or "I don't know", in order to be valid.

Possibly it is that the voices tell him people hear his thoughts, but are lying about it. A negative result in the telepathy test would be consistent with that assertion. A positive telepathy test would contradict the assertion that people are lying about hearing him.

Mistral, mistral wind...
From the outside looking in, that makes logical sense. If this is a case of true delusion, though, the rules are different- inside-looking-out has its own imperatives which make the logic entirely internal and the rules more...flexible.
The number I wrote, and repeated several times, was 10.
And the sentence I used to produce the SHA-512 hash mentioned above is:
The numbe r is 10 문자 àèé@ tèo!gumftres ezqrewrelm '!è("!àhfgf!çrer
Seven people answered "I don't know" (bruto, Pixel42, dlorde, Agatha, Daylightstar, Turgor and TheSapient), always with a little text. Because of these accompanying texts, I don't find any of these "I don't know" answers credible. For example, bruto wrote:
He said he had no idea how I chose my number, even though I explained in the opening post that the target number was chosen using a random number generator.
Two members of this forum provided a valid numerical answer. Scarlettinlondon answered
(Note: I am using here her last answer, which was valid), while Red Baron Farms answered just
(with no comment, this was his only post in the whole test). In the opening post, I had said:
'A comment might be useful, but is not indispensable.'
None of these two numerical answers is correct. However, Scarlettinlondon's answer is simply and obviously related to the target, because 1 is the first digit of 10, while Red Baron's answer is not. An interesting question then arises. Could one argue that Scarlettinlondon's answer is more credible (regardless of the number she gave) than
Red Baron's one? I think one can say this.
Scarlettinlondon's answer seems to be a reply to my post:
which itself was a reply to one of her posts. She did provide a comment, which sounded rather friendly (e.g. she said "right").
On the other hand, Red Baron Farms provided no comment at all. Red Baron is the nickname of Manfred von Richthofen, a famous German fighter pilot during World War I. This (also) gives an element of aggressivity to his answer. I have already remarked on this forum (see my comment about GregInAustin's answer in this post) that, when 3 is not the target number, it seems to be "the number of aggressivity" in these tests. And there is an additional reason to interpret 3 as a "number of aggressivity" in this post, namely this answer was given about 26 hours after I mentioned an apparent "telepathic incident" in this thread.
So, it would seem that Scarlettinlondon's answer is credible, while Red Baron's answer is not, and the credible answer is simply related to the target number, whereas the not-credible answer is not.
Akhenaten said:
This sounds rather supportive, in spite of the possible spelling error. Unfortunately, Akhenaten gave no valid answer, but his last "invalid answer" was:
which starts with 10, and is therefore clearly correlated with the target number 10 of this test. This finding seems to support the usual correlation I observe between credibility and accuracy.
Something unusual happened on this forum, about 7 hours after I started this test. Timhau started, in the Forum Community forum, a new (very strange) thread strangely entitled: Why do people "sing" their posts?, which contains 13 "Rule 10" smileys (this corresponds to an average of 13/6 = 2.17 "Rule 10 smileys" per post; there were three of them in the initial post). I suspect this may have been a "joke way" to answer the correct target number of this test.
Then, perhaps one or two days later (I don't know the exact date, which is no longer given by Yahoo), a Yahoo! Answers member named Arabindu posted this (very) strange question in the Parapsychology category of Yahoo Answers:
If concrete stength is 210kg/cm2 what will be in psi ?
(this is normally not a question for the parapsychology category)
Note that it contains both the word "psi", and the number "10". Note also the resemblance to Akhenaten's sentence mentioned above (Akhenaten's sentence started with 102, while Arabindu's question contains 210). What is then so special about digit 2? I suppose it is the digit of "my assumed telepathy" because I was born on a 22 February (22/2). I assume that Arabindu's answer was also a kind of "fun way" to say 10.
Now, more seriously, I believe I probably observed a "telepathic incident" in this test (it was the third time I observed such a thing on this forum). These are violent events, reported in the news, which seem to be related or correlated with my modest personal thoughts. These assumed events seem to be used as pretexts by some people to persecute me.
What happened in this test is this. In post 1617 of June 6, 2014, 1:46 UTC, I talked (once again) about an event which occurred during the Kosovo war, namely the bombing of Serbia's state television station on April 23, 1999. Then, a big hydrogen explosion happened in a power plant in Kosovo about seven hours later, at 11:00 am local time, 9:00 UTC (see e.g. http://macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/25450/46/). At least four people died.
So, what conclusion should be drawn from this fifth telepathy test I did on this forum? First of all, no truly high quality evidence for (my) telepathy was obtained. However, there was (in my opinion) a significant amount of low-quality evidence (some of which I didn't describe here), which I think supports my impression, that there currently exists a exceptional telepathic phenomenon on this planet, which allow you to know many of my "thoughts" without driving you crazy. However, many of you seem to be reluctant to admit the existence of this phenomenon to say the least. This leads to some kind of low-quality evidence obtained from an analysis of the results.

That you have no telepathic ability whatsoever and that no claim is to too ludicrous for you to make in a desperate attempt to support a delusional belief that this is not the case.

wow. There's delusion, and there's...... this.
There is no scientific evidence that you have the ability to broadcast your thoughts. This should reassure you if you think that your thoughts can do bad things. Again, whatever the basis for your belief, some medical problems cause people to believe that others can hear their thoughts. Whatever the basis for your own belief, real or not, you should again ask some medical people for advice; at minimum they may be able to allow you to control this property better, and thus make you happier. There are more forms of help now than before, and doctors who can better understand your concerns now.

oh come on, this is clearly related, as it's a multiple of 10.

So of the 9 answers you received, 7 were not accepted because text was included, 1 was accepted because text was included, and 1 was not accepted because no text was included. That hardly seems honest.
Of the one you accepted, you consider it a possible hit despite it being the furthest possible option from your chosen number.
How about an honest evaluation of your results. You broadcast this concept to the entire human population. Zero people found their way to this forum based on your broadcast. 9 people in this thread saw your post and took part in the test. Of those, you got zero hits. You then excluded 8 of 9 submissions (almost 90%!) because you find it wrong to include some text, or not include text, depending on what you want to accept.
So of all the billions of people you sent this message to, you got one acceptable result, which was wrong. So you conclude you had a partial success.
I give you a credibility rating of -100.

"I don't know" is a valid answer, but anyone who answers "I don't know" is not a credible answer.
How is this not "heads I win" and "tails you lose". Explain please. Why do I suspect Michel will not respond?

Based on prior posts, I would suggest being very literal with Michel H.

If only Michel was the joking sort I could applaud his analysis as hilarious self-parody, but unfortunately he appears to have been entirely serious. It's hard to conceive of anyone writing anything so utterly delusional without intending it as a joke.
Get help for your illness, Michel. The more you see connections in unconnected things (unrelated forum posts and unrelated yahoo answers posts), the more you demonstrate the severity of your condition.
You claimed a comment accompanying an answer was "useful but not indispensable". You then proceed to throw out seven answers because they include a comment, and one answer because it did not include a comment. You had nine responses, you threw out eight of them for inconsistent reasons and the one answer you kept was not correct. This is not science or fair testing, Michel, it's post facto manipulating of your data in order to try to achieve the result you want, and it will not work.
Telepathy does not exist, but one of the symptoms of schizophrenia is believing that one can broadcast one's thoughts to others. I sympathise with your illness as I know from a family member how difficult it can be to live with the symptoms, but we cannot help you by enabling your delusions. We can only encourage you to return to see your medical advisers (and point out your methodological mistakes).

So, you have not successfully transmitted your number.
No surprise there.
When will you post the audio, Michel H?
