ESP Experiment
I tried it about 6 times and it picked my pick every time. Weird. Moose
Added by edit: OK, I figured it out. If you figure it out, keep it to yourself - Don't give the solution away. Edited by Minnemooseus, : See above. Edited by Minnemooseus, : Made some text big.

Have you read the comments? They're gold dust.

It took me a whole second to figure it out. I must admit that it was clever. My disbelief in pink unicorns must have made me see right through it.
Added by edit. The comments, I think, are a lot more amusing than the test itself. Added by edit again. I just read some more comments. Are people really this gullible? It was amusing at first, but then there are some people that claim to be professionals that made me flinch to read their comments. Edited by Tazmanius Devilus, : No reason given.

I saw this a year or so ago. It did take me 3 or 4 tries to figure out what he was doing.
I was enjoying the comments too but you're right: a warning to e v e r y b o d y! We all have some of what a once-upon-a-time colleague of mine called "brain farts".

The comments are a hoot! I especially like the ones that claimed that the trick didn't work. Hee hee.
I could tell you what I've read about evolution, the big-bang, super-universes, quantum foam, and all that stuff. Eventually you'd ask a question I can't answer, then I'd have to go look it up. Even If I had the time for that shit, in the end you'd ask a question science hasn't answered yet. So let's save time and skip ahead to "I don't know." -- jhuger
