Ok, not Q6. No, it's most definitely a hit with Q1, looking for aliens. > > "That must have been an illusion" could apply to Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4. No, best hit is obviously DARK MATTER, it matches the grammar of Quantum Entanglement but since it's proven to exist it doesn't match the context. > > "Not my house - a house or merchandise" I wouldn't have picked any.

That was out of SIX options and quite easy to score well. With TWO options - me against a control selective a true random phrase it is TRIVIAL TO PROVE PSYCHIC CHANNELING. I've heard your "I DUNNO" copout again and again, leave it. Herc
