Merged Telepathy test: which number did I write?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Even before I opened the thread and saw there was a choice of 1-4, I had guessed that the number was 3. Amazing. In the absence of the knowledge that there were limits, I could have picked any number. But I picked a number between 1 and 4. What are the odds of that?

Then I remembered I'd seen something once about people typically picking certain numbers when asked "think of a number between 1 and n". Googled it and this came up: http://www.cs4fn.org/mathemagic/streetmagic.php It's about 37 being the most likely number for people to pick when asked to choose a number between 1 and 100 (with certain conditions added) but it also has this:

...the numbers 3 and 7, which themselves are the most common answers if you ask people to name a number between 1 and 10...

Funnily enough, three seems to be the most popular choice so far.

Your suggestion is interesting, Drs_Res. However, there might be a problem if the website that produces these cryptographic hashes is not reliable, and for example records all sentences used as initial data to give them to unauthorized people.

Well, two minutes with a copied phrase (to eliminate discrepancies) and the Google search results for "MD5 hash generators" gave me a a few pages of sites to play with. Picking a handful at random and generating a hash on each for comparison was way easier than dreaming up that proto-conspiracy ;)

You wrote pi to a million places and then circled the first digit, so 3.

Unless it's not coming through clearly, in which case it could be 1 or 4.

You should have made this a poll.

Oh, and it is definitely a "1". If it isn't, then I know you are cheating. :p

NOTE: I should of course come back to tell you what the right answer is, and who answered correctly (if anyone did).

Honesty Test - How do we know you will tell the truth? "Telapathy Test" of no credible value.

You should md5 hash that result in a sentence and post the hash here before anyone makes a guess. Then after you are done (after a specific number of people have responded, this number should be posted here, say 30) then you post exactly what you put into the hash generator so every one can check to make sure you posted exactly what you were thinking. Otherwise we don't know if you changed your answer to match some result you are looking for.

Here is a hash generator: md5hashgenerator.com

If I post this hash: 3f54323e44c82afec637a5b63b804b72

That's a hash for the text string:

The number I thunk was eleventy million.

Putting that into the hash generator will return that hash number above. Change anything in that sentence and you will get a different hash.

Why, thank you.

What in the H E double hockey sticks are you talking about. You don't like that site, there are a ton of MD5 hash generators out there. Pick any one of them. I was trying to be helpful so you did not have to look it up and figure out what to do.

MD5 hash generators are reliable. They don't encrypt data they just give you a way to verify information.

If you don't trust an online generator, there are plenty of free generators that you can download to your computer and use off line.

Here is another hash for you: b8be548972c97c2c5f1eb27d74448988

How does this relate to telepathy? Have you researched the meaning of the word?
 
I see a number between 1 and 4. Does that make sense?
The letter ''R'' is appearing too. Or ''M''.
The number is still living. I feel it is somewhere near water.
A man, an older man is coming through. Something wrong in his chest or his head. Do you understand?
The number wants you to know that it is happy and in peace.
