This claim came in on April 30, 2004. I accepted the claim and referred Mr. Colvin to the Seattle Skeptics Society for preliminary testing.
To my knowledge, SSS has never been contacted by this applicant, and I have never received a reply to JREF's acceptance of this claim. The file will remain open until April 30, 2005, not too long after the Yankees start playing baseball again.
==============================================
My paranormal ability that can be easily demonstrated, is for me to sit in front of a tv when the game show Jeopardy is on, or I can be in another room, so long as I can hear the program, and predict which square will be the Daily-Double before it appears on the screen.
There are 30 squares. There is one daily-double in the first 15 minutes of the half-hour program, and two in the second half. So far, over a period of five years or so, since I first discovered I could do this particular thing, I've been 100% accurate. Since I've never read about or heard this kind of phenomenon, it just may be I am the only one who can demonstrate it. If what I've said holds any interest for you, I'm willing to send you a videotape for your scrutiny. On the west coast where I live, Jeopardy comes on at 7pm during the week; channel 6 on NBC.
Sincerely, L. Colvin
