Please cancel my answer. I too had bad intentions.

Michel will interpret this as an admission that you deliberately chose the wrong answer, and hence that you must have known the correct one. This post will now join the handful of other misunderstood posts which he continually quotes as "proof" of his telepathy.

And in doing so messed it up for Tapatalk users.

ETA: On checking it seems I'd resized it by a stupidly small amount.
My apologies to those who view on an Abacus.

Thank you marplots :)

For the record I will state that I will not, ever, feed Michel H's pathological telepathy delusion by giving answers, not directly and not indirectly.
 
Telepathy is an easily proofable / falsifiable claim. If someone else than Michel H gets to plan the test scenario.
 
If we're all supposed to be telepathic and running this vast, perfect conspiracy to pretend not to be, in what scenario would asking us these questions actually help? Wouldn't our presumed coordination outside the test disqualify the test results, no matter what they may be?

How are we supposed to be coordinating this anyway? Some kind of hivemind? Super-secret "Everyone but Michael H, haha" subforum? Bigass telephone conference calls?
 
Well, since the previous solidarity of not responding to Michel has been broken, I will also provide a response, because I want to be a part of it, New York,

New York.

Hi, I invite you to participate in a simple telepathy test.

At about 9:00 p.m. on this Tuesday February 23 (Brussels, Belgium time), I wrote carefully one of the four words: "Sydney", "Brisbane", "Auckland" and "Hamilton" (names of large cities in Australia or in New Zealand) on my sheet of paper, and I surrounded it with a rough ellipse. Then, I wrote it again twice.

I shall repeat this word from time to time during this test, and I ask you to write it here (if you think you know it, even with a doubt). You may also answer "I don't know". It might perhaps be useful also that you say how confident you are in your answer.

I also request that you let me know your geographical location (for example: "I am in Sydney", or "I am in New York", or "I am in London"; this may be important to me, because I want to study possible correlations between telepathy and distance).

you're supposed to respond one of the four possibilities: "Sydney", "Brisbane", "Auckland" or "Hamilton" (note that New York is not one of these possibilities), and to tell your geographical location (because this is of great interest in a scientific study of telepathy). If you are in Australia, this makes your answer (potentially) even more interesting ;)

But are you certain that somehow you have not thought about New York at all since you started this test, awake or asleep? It may have leaked out of your brain and spread around the entire planet without you even knowing it? Don't you ever think about anything except the numbers 1 - 4 or the cities 1 - 4.

How is it that New York came into my thoughts when reading this thread? Is somebody else spreading the mental word who does not want publicity but wants us to think about New York, or was I just being facetious about song lyrics, and thinking about and listening to a song by Frank Sinatra?

sarcasm, in case you don't understand it, as was my earlier post, which you also did not understand, because you seem ignorant of all pop culture

I have to admit that I thought recently about doing a telepathy test whose "target" would be a popular singer, and I thought about Sinatra and Presley ("did I write Sinatra, or Presley, or ..."). You may have gotten that.

However, remember that, in this test, I did not just "think" the word, I also wrote it on my paper, and I surrounded it with an ellipse.

There's your problem. You're supposed to write in on your paper and surround it with a triangle.

I am breaking my resolve, not to engage the op in any way but to further reiterate; With semi disruptive font to accentuate the point:

Do not reply, Sarcasm will not work, Humor will not work, Reasoning will not work. Let the thread be filled only with the echos of the ops own posts, He'll take that as a victory but as it stands he's already done that.

With any luck this will be the last time I post in this thread.

No, I got Judy Garland. Was she on your potential list that you just made up to respond to my post?

Won't anyone think of the composers?

A lot of people think Harry Nilsson wrote Everybody's Talking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55xQu9eIPIA

because he's so good. It was actually Fred Neil.

Wow. This version by Neil sounds great:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5txh2GvPmAU

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh
I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind

----
To get those chime-like accents, was he picking up above the neck somehow? Gorgeous. That 12-string.

Answer: Nah, they're just natural harmonics, but somehow he gets that clangorous, enharmonic-ish bell-like effect more than usual.

I already like this version better than Harry's. My close personal friend Harry.


Damn: Fred Neil's cavernous baritone and wayward backing group were recorded directly to stereo ... “Everybody's Talkin'” was finished in one take.
Da-ahmn!

Two good songs. The first version is more commercial, the second one, more relaxing.

This is absolutely amazing. Every time I mention somebody you later say that you were thinking about them. I must be sending you my thoughts, as you never bring them up before I do. Or perhaps I am just posting on the internet, and you need to add, "Oh, me too, me too"
