Sorry, no cigar. Huh? That is just speculation and you just score me wrong anyway. You have to use a dozen volunteers anyway and I'm sure most of them will follow the directions easily. If you use a DATA ENTRY FORM then the first question is LOCKED IN and I can't complain. The page numbers are sent and the 2 dummy questions are posted later.

I can EASILY "guess" what question you posted on page one of a form like that on MindReading.com 1/2 of the time. (only 50% higher than expected) I can probably "guess" the correct option 2 times out of 3. (double expected). But I need to do some tests before I set a bench mark that high. >> >>THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF MY TEST. >> >>All that is required is to substitute Zenner Cards for a more interesting idea or request >>so that my powers kick in! > > So instead of Zenner cards you want unanswerable questions to which > you will give vague "correlated" responses?

I work out what question you asked on page 1 from 3 options. There is nothing subjective to mark - there is just a little bit of intelligence on the English language required ON MY PART.
