This is the 3rd post about my DIY psi experiment. Here are Part 1 and Part 2.


I was seeing if I could influence a random-number-generator mentally or psychically. The idea was to roll a lot of virtual dice and will the number FOUR to come up.


The results are negative. No evidence of psi.


While willing the number 4 to come up, I got: 1034 ones 982 twos 1043 threes 955 fours 1043 fives 943 sixes

<p>Ahh, I thought your second post was the result of the experiment and I missed the part where you said, "...and made no attempt to psychically influence them."</p><p>I get it now. In your first experiment (without any attempt to influence the result), you got 1015 fours, which is very close to the impossible number (1140 is a one-in-a-million fluke). In your second attempt (where you applied psi and tried to influence the result), you got 955 fours. </p><p>On the plus side, in many cases (so far, all mainstream cases), proposed psychic abilities are the result of intentional or unintentional fraud, and true psychic and clairvoyance are unsupported by empirical data, repeatable experiments, and, in general, credible scientific evidence.</p><p>My friend, can I say, in the spirit of the "Gambler," that you have more luck than psychic power: you obtained 1015 fours by luck, while you got 955 fours by psi ??</p>
