AI Thread Summary
A forum discussion proposes a challenge to test Extra Sensory Perception (E.S.P) by having participants guess items chosen by a designated person, with the aim of validating E.S.P claims through measurable results. The challenge involves selecting three items placed in neutral-colored boxes to minimize bias and coincidence, allowing for one guess per participant. Previous attempts at similar challenges yielded no successful guesses, raising skepticism about the validity of E.S.P. The conversation also references the Randi Challenge, highlighting the lack of successful applicants and the complexities involved in defining success in E.S.P testing. Overall, the forum aims to explore the potential of E.S.P while addressing the scientific scrutiny surrounding it.

Why the computer ? Why not just compare the human success rate against the theoretical probabilities ? The probability of correctly guessing n digits in each guess is 10^{-n}.
ya i don't like that. LEts use a # that is in Base 1,000 and not tell them the # is in base 1,000. if they are truly psychic this would make no difference. As a real psychic would be like. oh very nice. Base 1,000. the # is...

What is supernatural? It cannot be proven. By the time it is proven, it is not so supernatural anymore. There is no such thing as supernatural. The universe and all that happens and lay within, is natural... yet considered supernatural before it is understood by mankind. Silly humans... :) When it isn't proven, it isn't accepted. By the time it is accepted by all, it is already proven.
