My Second Telepathy Test

[Loss Leader]

I have generated 5 random digits, each with a value from 0 to 9. Note, it is not a 5 digit number, so the first digit may be 0.

I have written the 5 digits down in the order they were generated and circled it. I will look at the digits at least once an hour (excepting midnight through eight a.m. Eastern) and will concentrate on them.

Please feel free to try to detect the number. Write your best guess here.

You may write something about your confidence but it will be disregarded. Only the 5 digits in their exact order will be considered. Four of five digits, in the exact order they were generated, will be considered significant enough to warrant further testing.

My five digits, which are buried in a simple phrase, generate the MD5 hash:

7c3581f3d6334fe0325f086aec5c04df


May the ESP be with you.


ETA: A digit can appear more than once. I'm not sure if that was clear.

Do what now?

Dagum lawyers.

Are there five digits or not?

ETA: that is to say, do you mean it "is not" a 5 digit number, or perhaps "might not" be a 5 digit number due to the possibility of leading zeroes?

ETA2: I'm getting... I'm receiving....I'm feeling like... curves! Do any of your numbers have any curves? Do curves in numbers mean anything to you? Maybe a curved number has some importance in your life?

The second thing. Each of the 5 digits may be 0, so it may not be readable as a 5 digit number due to the possibility of leading zeroes.

In that case, its quite obvious: 701356

If that's not the number you have... you've done something wrong.

It's 5 digits and you wrote 6. I have to discard your entire guess. Feel free to try again.

I thought it up all by myself.

By "not a 5 digit number" LL means that it is not one number with 5 digits but rather 5 separate digits generated in order. Correct?

It's 5 digits and you wrote 6.

Obviously! You said it may not be readable as a 5 digit number.

What is the statistical basis for this 'test'?

For example: what, exactly, is the hypothesis you're testing? have you calculated how many responses you need to reject your null hypothesis at a 95% confidence level?

Since you haven't limited us to one guess per poster, these are my guesses:

00000
00001
00002
00003
00004
00005
00006
00007
00008
00009
00010
00011
...and so on up to...
99990
99991
99992
99993
99994
99995
99996
99997
99998
99999

Obviously! You said it may not be readable as a 5 digit number.

Exactly. As I said, if thats not the number LL has, the LL has done something wrong. I am confident of the messages I received.

I ... don't know any of that. If anybody gets it right, I'll ask them whether they were 95% confident, I guess.

Am I missing some context? Is this part of an ongoing test?
