A Website to Read Your Mind
Alright... if you ever wondered if technology could read your mind, this website just might provide you with an answer:
http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickover/esp.html
I stumbled upon this ESP Experiment quite by accident this evening. I tried it once and the system got it correct. Just a fluke, I figured, so I tried it again, and again, and again, and again. Five times total I picked a card, called it out and cliked an eye. And five times the system removed my card correctly. The system claims to have a 98% accuracy rate. I might give it 100 guesses at some point, but tonight five is enough to convince me that there is something different about this particular website.
Some people who have posted comments claim that it didn't work for them. I have to say, I'm not sure how that's possible... it is a little tricky, but the answer is there. Give it a go and post any feedback on your results as a comment here on my blog.

Wow! It is truly incredible how this web site knows with 100% accuracy that the cards they display after you have made your choice will not show your chosen card! Yes, the all knowing eye removed my card. No second guess was necessary for me. I was convinced after only one try that they were really on to something here! What will they think of next....air, water, fire, earth?!?

None of the cards on the first page are on the second page.

I'm stumped. It was 100% with about 10 tries. I back to try to trick it...

I got it - none of the cards are the same on the second page. None of them. They are the same face cards, but with completely different suits. Tricky, though.
