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.

There is no confusion, I get it right or you mark me wrong.

God won't channel meaningless nonsense.

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.

NO NO NO NO NO.

I select A, B or C.

I'm smart enough to interpret the word of God from bible quotes to any question
posed to him.

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.

Can you either think my protocol over a lot more carefully or get a competent 
statistician to advise you whether the claim could hold?
