| Just in case someone hasn't figured it out, this is a game not
a meaningful "experiment". Although I have seen equally bad
experiments presented by CSICOP members and other self-proclaimed
"skeptics" (i.e., true believers in scientism) as serious, I'm
fairly sure that Darryl realizes that this is not -- that whatever
the outcome, it cannot be treated as anything but the very weakest
evidence pro or con (although a negative result effectively *does*
rule out some theories that nobody believes anyway).
Anyway my guess is 255 (using the "psychic" pendulum).

re: -1
I had 2 extra copies of them so I thought it would
be a fun way to give them away.
Every few days, I will eliminate a segment of the numbers (100's)
Everytime I exclude some range of numbers, you are permitted another
two guesses although if you are absolutely desperate for the
prize then you can have three guesses. Tomorrow I will eliminate
the first group.
Someone before picked 999. It is interesting because I thought
of it (see you can read minds) but I decided to go with something
really random instead of some symbolic or brain twister type
number with special meaning (well at least not to me) like i.e. 666.
So remember, use your psychic powers to read my psychic vibrations
eminating from my mind (A front end amplifier might help). So
remember, less brain power and more psychic concentration.

| I didn't feel vibrations like .104 (darn!); it must be because it
is after midnight on Friday and you're not transmitting!
The correct number is: 656 (seis-cinco-seis).
If by any chance you are currently distracted by other late friday
night activities that would interfere with your transmission (as my
reception is 78% and holding--unfortunately no distractions here),
would you mind marking your calendar for Monday (26-Sep) at 21:30,
think of the number for 5 minutes, place it in a palm tree, I will
pluck it out of the tree down here. BTW, I won't mind if other
people want to tap in at that time. Is this against the rules?

868.114 | NEW RANGE - guess again | MARX::ANDERSON | | Mon Sep 26 1988 13:40 | 17 |

Now for some more confusion
You can exclude the number range from 350 to 449 and 650 to 749
So, the remaining range is 300 to 349
450 to 499
600 to 649
750 to 799
Just think, by tomorrow, it will be down to 100 numbers
and the next day 50 and the next day 25 ...

So much for Networking Psychic Transmission! If this comes down
to two remaining numbers I'm sure my dog would have a good chance
at picking it and he's not psychic, at least he hasn't told me.
This isn't a good test for psychic ability any more. What did you
say the prize was?
How about 311?

because of the ether which it has to travel through.

911? Hmmm, maybe I'm tapping into some ambulances in the area.
Well, 2nd reception was 609 but there was some noise on the line;

868.132 | How About ... | MARX::ANDERSON | | Tue Sep 27 1988 16:25 | 36 |

I am wondering whether I should exclude some more numbers
or just give it to the person who has come closest. If
I keep on whittling it down eventually it will come down
to the process of elimination. What should I do?
Should I continue to whittle it down or maybe stop
at a certain point or even award the prize by 12:00
PM tonight or even tomorrow because I can think about
the number one more time tonight.
If there is no consensus or objections then by 6:00, I may
just leave the number range the way it is and award the prize
tomorrow at 4:10 pm if one can be determined.
Make sure you go back to read my previous note on the
final list of available numbers if you do not know.
I said I was going to think about the number 10:00 EST
well it actually was exactly 10:57. Sorry, I was putting out the
garbage.
Darryl
P.S. How about:
NOT even tell you if you have guessed the number. So if people
pick the same number, there can be a playoff. People can
make their 4 best choices. That may eliminate any noise
interference of the psychic vibrations. If you want to pick
a number more than once, it would be counted more than once.
But you would still have to 6:00 PM EST today to guess the
correct number.

This is just to verify that it is getting very close to
10.00 PM EST and starting to concentrate on the number.
It is 9:59 and my psychic vibrations are traveling
east, west, north, south. They are going all over the globe.
It is 10:00 I am repeating the number in my mind.
Yes, that's the number, just tell me what it is and you
won the prize.
Hurry now before somebody else guesses the number.

868.149 | | GENRAL::DANIEL | still here | Wed Sep 28 1988 13:47 | 5 |
| Those are the very two, and only two, numbers I guessed; 410 was a joke because
the range that had been quoted excluded it; I was joking because he said that
he was going to reveal the number at 4:10, ar ar ar.
Now the question. Are we connected? ;-)

868.150 | just a good guess | NEBVAX::PEDERSON | Keep watching the SKIES! | Wed Sep 28 1988 14:04 | 11 |
| Naw....just dumb luck, I guess. I didn't fully read all the
replies, so I don't remember what range was excluded. I guessed
410 because he said he would announce it at that time (why the
odd time? hmmmmm). And 999 was an inverted 666 (which we know
is evil).
But who knows......maybe you and I should try some mind experments.

there.
I would like to give a big thanks to FSE::JOLLIMORE for
compiling the list. It's a lot of help and plus it provides
a document on who out there really has been getting psychic
energy reception. It separates the "men" psychics from the

hey calm down, stop sweering at me ... the number is
SIX ZERO SEVEN
6 0 7
John Willams is the Winner.
Hey John are you sure there isn't any psychic software
on CXCAD.
Now John you can keep your prize or take what's
behind curtain 1 2 or 3 OR you can take what I
have in this box over here OR the money in the
envelope here in my coat pocket. :-)
You have now been been saddled with the burden of
being the In House Guru Psychic of DEJAVU.
Special Mentions include
.26 DNEAST::JENNINGS_RIC 613
Out of a thousand numbers, you came very very very close.
You and John are equals although John has the official
title now.
.124 LACV02::EHRHARDT "Caminante, no hay camino..." 609
You represent another heavy weight in the class of
Guru psychic. You make me a believer.

If for any reason the above people can not serve as leading
in house psychic gurus, you will automatically assume the title.
If I have overlooked anybody, please forgive me. I know
some of you did receive some secondary psychic energy
vibrations. If I made any errors on rankings I shall correct
my errors. All decisions final by 1:00 EST Thursday.
BTW: Yes, it was natural to look for clues in my writings.
I made an effort to avoid giving you subliminal clues. I even
had to change my numbers. Yes I know, No hints.

Note: I have been in training at Bedford and there are 100+ replies
to this note. Time doesn't permit me to read them so if someone
has already picked 42 I offer my humble apology.

929 and 607 are equivalent:
9+2+9=20 2+0=2
6+0+7=13 1+3=4
4-2=2, which we got from 929!
Oh, never mind....

I have just received the Number believed to be correct
by the Psychic Procrastinators of America.
The number they believe to be correct is...607.
How close were they?

868.163 | Doesn't this count????? | RVAX::SMITH | | Wed Oct 05 1988 13:15 | 16 |
| Now let's see if I have this figured correctly. In reply .147, I
guessed the numbers 836 and 423. Now.........
836-423=413
836-607 (the correct number)=229
229+413=642
642-35 (my wifes age)=607 (the correct number)
Doesn't that count???????? At least I made it interesting and didn't
just yell out the correct number!!!!!!!

Re: .159 What difference does it make? I hadn't read all the replies
so I still didn't know what the number was. I think it
WAS 929 and was changed to 607. :^)

I announce with only a little humble-ness that I had two of the
digits in their correct places when I guessed 647. My one serious
guess. Sorry folks, I can't divulge the amazing secret of my psychic
powers, you'll have to read my post-humous autobiography.
