Merged Telepathy test: which number did I write?

I'm predicting a hit rate of +/- 20%.

Eta: And am waiting for a JREF wise gal/guy to teach me about probabilities ;)
 
Well this is certainly one of the most robustly controlled experiments I have encountered.
 
Haven't we been through this nonsense with this same poster before?

Bell, if you are skeptical with respect to telepathy, perhaps you should expect a hit rate of +/- 25%, rather than +/- 20% ;) .
 
Um, I don't know.

But in case it's a bit like blind-sight, I'll guess 1.

I have a problem already - although it might be a language translation issue. If you are asking us to use telepathy, then we are not guessing; and if you are asking us to guess, then we are not using telepathy.

Also, if we are to use telepathy, then means we are not allowed to use remote viewing or precognition - have you created controls to eliminate those psychic powers from being used during this silly and useless attention-seeking stunt. Ooops, I apologize. I meant to say test. It just came out as silly and useless attention-seeking stunt. I always get those two things confused.


I can see the number....it is near water....

it is 3 ... or very, very near 3.

Thank you, Ashles.

I didn't get to it through telepathy, but I'd say Ashles was being sarcastic.

I'm running an experiment too. I suggest the participants pick numbers so that they're as evenly selected as possible.

So far we have two 3s and one 1.

I'll go with 2 then.

This is serious stuff (sending telepathic waves of irony).
 
I know this question assumes there is actually some logic going on somewhere, but here goes anyway:

"Why only 4 numbers to choose from? Even if there were psychic powers at work, the result would be obscured by the quasi-random distribution of responses across a very limited range of choices.

* Why not an undisclosed numeric or alphanumeric string?
* Why not a number range 126-310, or some other reasonable range?"

I am thinking of a 12 letter word right now...it starts with 'A' and ends with 'C' and coincidentally doesn't have a 'B' in it at all.

Can you tell me what the word is?

OMG! How could you possibly have known that!?
