Book Test: Max & Any Others Interested

The winner for round 5 was David Horman, correctly identifying the Tweenies book.

Round 6 is on. You know the drill.
 
I did one round (round 4 I think) but my name isn't on the score sheet - I picked the wrong book anyway. Do we have to register or something, before we can play?
 
No need to register. Maybe I just missed your name off the sheet. I'll check the record when I get home.
 
No one won round 7. And only four players. Time for some more publicity!


Hey hey! Roll up, roll up, Join the psychic book experiment ! And how! It's psychic! To the max! etc.



(Incidentally, Ceptimus I don't have a record of your entry. I did get an entry with no name attached in round 2. Maybe that was yours?)
 
Round 9 is over, and we're still looking for that elusive second hit.

Poor Darat has been plodding along and trying over and over, and has yet to get one hit! Keep at it. You only have to get one in the next three rounds to equal chance!

Round 10 is now running. Results on Thursday.

Bloody negative psi!
 
Round 10 is over. No hits.

I'm thinking of introducing some negative stimulus. Darat, if you don't score a hit next time, 250 volts will be sent through your mouse button. Focus, dammit!

Round 11 ends Saturday.

OW! That hurt!
 
Well, it serves you right. Your duck continues.

------cut out and paste into any believers forum-------
Daenris joins the happy band of viewers who have a 100% hit record. Well done!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 12 is now running.
 
Round 14 is over. I had a load of entries from what appeared to be the same person using multiple identities (same IP address). One of them was a hit, but the challenge will be for the person to use the same identity and to repeat the feat! I have decided to include them on the off-chance that it was a bunch of girl friends using the same computer at a sleepover (it's all girls names).

I'm also considering having a clearout of the results. Quite a few people have had one attempt, never to return. I may start filtering out the inactive participants.

Round 15 is going to be a long one, since I'm on holiday. Take your time now!
 
Whoa! I go away for a few days and Daenris goes and gets a second hit. That's two out of three. The guy's smoking!

Of course, this is still well within the bounds of probability, but cause for a small celebration in the Daenris household, I'm sure.

Back to the normal 48 hour rounds now. Round 16 ends Saturday.

Spectacular confirmation of psi missing from a vehement skeptic! What more proof is required??

A way to tell a failure from a successful 'psi miss' would be a good start.
 
Cold reader Ersby now has two hits out of three attempts, in round 16 of the book experiment.

Darat, what's going on?

I think I'm starting to like the electric shock therapy...

Quite seriously I am trying to do this the way the cold-readers seem to say they do it. e.g. Empty my mind (well that's the easy bit) and then just "see" what sensations come to mind, red, black, doctors, computers what ever then pick the book I think best matches those impressions.

With the level of success I'm having I'm beginning to think that as well as being a p-zombie I also totally lack any psi power. :(

...snip...

Perhaps this explains why Ersby’s cold-reading seems indistinguishable from "professional" mediums - he really does have psychic powers but is just in denial!
 
Hurrah for me.

Although my hit has gone into Daenris' row on the result's page.

The secret of my success is to chose a book before the page has finished loading, so I've no idea what book I'm choosing.

Deny it all you like - we all now know the truth!
 
I have knocked up a new automatic script which will take most of the donkey-work out of updating the results page, so hopefully no one should get points that don't belong to them! (How's that for tempting fate?)

Rambling Onwards scored a hit in the round. Daenris and Ersby are still our current leaders.
