Did anyone happen to catch the fact that Adam Hugo is our very own 'supernaturalbeing', responsible for the 'review of unacceptable claims' thread? One of the first replies to the thread was from KRAMER saying the following:

From KRAMER
If you are stating here that you believe yourself to be responsible for the movement of these clouds, and you are entertaining the notion of applying for the JREF Paranormal Challenge, please understand that it would be rejected upon receipt.

He also claimed in this thread to be able to pick lottery numbers correctly three days in a row. We told him that we would gladly help him get his claim submitted if he showed us his powers by posting one set of winning lottery numbers.

He replied saying that to pick lottery numbers, he needed numerous laptops and a camcorder, which he didn't have the money to buy.

Who can pick out the most number of problems in that one statement? :)

Well, the ones that came off the top of my head were:
1) He needs NUMEROUS laptops? Considering most laptops have over 1GHz of processing power, how in the world would he need more than one?
2) A camcorder? To pick lottery numbers?
3) If he could really pick lottery numbers, why would he be unable to 'afford' anything?
4) How does he know that it requires multiple laptops and a camcorder to pick lottery numbers if he doesn't have multiple laptops or a camcorder?

And I'm sure there's more!
 
He needs a business plan. Convince any bank manager he can pick lottery numbers and he will be up to his neck in G4 Powerbooks before he can say "AAARGH!"

Or he could buy a ticket...

I never worked out how he knew he could do this with the laptops and camcorder if he didn't have the laptops and camcorder to try to do it with.

Or alternatively, if he had already done this using laptops and camcorder, why he couldn't afford them now...
 
I was assuming he was planning to do some sort of statistical analysis of lotto numbers, but I don't see why that would need more than one laptop, or a camera. I think he hadn't really decided how he was going to do it, or had a very poor education in statistics. :D

I'm working on this task.
I've got a laptop now.
Got a good job.
Girlfriend.
Haven't been able to post for a while, I guess cause they're upgrading there computers.
I found about ten millions dollars worth of money they are giving away for paranormal stuff.
I was able to do 2 out of three numbers for the New York pick three for a week. That was a profit of $400 a day, buying one set of tickets.
Still got a while before I can setup and try again.

If you can make $400 profit/day on the lottery, why do you need a job?
 
I discovered by chance that I could do this lottery stuff...
But, now that I want or need to do this thing first I have to setup a
controlled environment, to reduce my chances of going bankrupt doing
this. It takes $100 to play (I only know 2 of three numbers). I don't have the income to support this if I don't get the numbers right the first time. This is the part that takes time. Right now I don't have a permenant place
to setup my equiptment, etc.
Also, I was able to do this for two weeks straight, predicting the outcome of races, which won me 1200.00 on a startup of $100, but here again the last time I wagered, I lost $500 so I only deposited $700 from that gig. Then I quit. There was no way to for me to do it 100%. But it is possible theoratically.

Can you say gambler's fallacy?

I knew that you could.

You need $100 to play the lotto, but you made $700 on the ponies. That means you can play it seven times. What is the problem?

Might I suggest that while trying to test out your predictions, that you do it without actually betting with money? So far it sounds as though you've won quite a bit, and lost quite a bit, which would be expected merely by chance.

I don't think that anyone here would want you to end up in the poor house while trying to hone your supernatural powers.

Great idea... Make sure you post your predictions before the lottery starts!

Supernaturalbeing, why don't you just post the numbers you predict to win the lottery before each drawing. Whatever lottery you want: New York Lotto, Mega Millions, Pick 10, Quick Draw... just make sure that you post the numbers well before each drawing. We'll follow along for a week or two, and figure out the odds of your picks being correct by chance.

If you do well enough, we'll all help you write a claim letter. But it's possible that what you think is a paranormal ability is just a little luck and a mistaken sense of probability.
 
If he does that then he would be one of the very few people who have ever made very specific predictions, in this thread, that are extremely unlikely to occur and genuinely thinking that they will happen.
 
Supernaturalbeing, are these tapes of your cloudbusting, the ones you mentioned on an earlier thread? If so, forget about them. You could show us tapes of clouds all day and you wouldn't be able to prove anything.

You see, clouds are known to dissiptate on their own. That means that if I took a camera to the park near my house and taped clouds for a few hours, I would eventually find one that dissipated while I was watching. There is nothing paranormal about such a video.

Please just test your own claim about predicting lottery numbers. Post them a few minutes before each drawing! Or, try a new claim: if you believe that you can make clouds dissipate because you have telekinetic powers, see what else you can do with these powers.
 
In fact, why not start by predicting the Super Bowl- our timing is great.
 
supernaturalbeing ,

Can you give me a set of 7 numbers chosen from 1 to 45 ?

thanks :)
 
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 ?

Ok, that's only 6 numbers, but they're BAD numbers, m'kay?

The numbers are bad!
THE NUMBERS ARE BAD!
 
Well if we are playing that game here are my numbers between 1 - 45
39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45.

They are seven numbers and as good as any other set of seven numbers. If they ever come out you could win big. Not many people have their birthdays on these days.
 
You've even avoided Trente-Huit de Cunegonde.* Clever scheme, I like.

Do you really expect anyone to spend over an hour downloading a 200 mb video of you pointing at clouds? I mean I was going to just for the sheer heck of it, but I'm not tying up my internet connection for 2 hours for something like this.

Exactly.

Post the lottery picks, and impress us.
No one is going to download your video.
It proves nothing and is a waste of time.

Nothing else is relevant here. Just post the numbers.
 
I will attempt to watch the video. 200 mb isn't that much on a broadband connection, which I have at home. It's quite fast at night. What I don't have is a lot of time to dedicate to this, but I'll give it a shot.
 
Supernaturalbeing powers are no greater than mine. Oh Dear. Why don't you, supernaturalbeing, go and see a doctor and get treated for your sickness?
 
At minutes 12 and 26 one can see the clouds disappear, but are normal at the beginning of filming.
Somehow the tape got recorded over. I hadn't reviewed since I was at the taping.
But, any comments on the awesomeness of the clouds, or the authinicty that they disappeared(Only the ones at the focus of camera)?
I'm sure one wouldn't notice anything paranormal, but any suggestions
on how to make it obvious that I was making the cloud disappear? I would film again tomorrow if it would ever win me some money.
 
How about 2 minutes worth of film. At the start it is cloudy. At the end it is a clear day. Better yet tell us where and when you are going to do it and we can all watch. That would be paranormal.

But you summed it up yourself. "I'm sure one wouldn't notice anything paranormal,... "

What more is there to say? Apart from what I said in my previous post?

During both those minutes the camera is panning all over the sky. The reason clouds disappear is that the camera is panning past them and they go out of frame :)

Minutes 13, 14 & 15 show a cloud disappating. It seems that there's movement from the right moving clouds into some different air. As clouds reach that, they disappate. It's a little hard to tell if that is actually what is happening as the camera does move somewhat. The video doesn't show what then happens to the next cloud that is following the disappated cloud.
 
The JREF has already stated that it won't accept cloud-busting for the challenge, simply because clouds disappear on their own. If you're planning to apply for the million, you'll need to do something bigger - like make a hurricane disappear. If you can make one cloud disappear, you can make a hurricane disappear, right?


Editted because I can't spell.
