There needs to be a prize run by non-skeptics
There are dozens of skeptics organisations offering prize money and none of them are legitimate.
I'll put up the first $500 if SCEPCOP manages the fund! All you need is $1000 or $2000 prize, then if someone passes a test with 1,000,000:1 ODDS broken and the umpires panel all agree then awarding $2000 is NEWSWORTHY! Without the prize, nothing will eventuate. Nobody will even put effort into testing or debunking. I'll apply for the prize myself, think of it as my $500 bet! I can demo mindreading in a forum, similar to a Zenner Card test.

THE MINDREADING VIA BIBLIOMANCY TEST IS CONDUCTED IN 2 PHASES.
QUESTION & ANSWER PHASE STEP 1 The Tester writes down 10 yes or no questions that he has a genuine interest in finding out the answer to, not just an interest in whether I can give the answer for test purposes. The questions should cover different topics and use various formats, not all of the same type like whether something will happen in the future on all 10 questions. STEP 2 The Tester appends 20 random digits to the first question, and uses an MD5 calculator to send me the HASH of the question and private key in STEP 3. e.g Question 1 = Will my son pass his maths exam today? Add 20 digits private key = Will my son pass his maths exam today? 9365012857394735289 MD5 = 8d8f057938438f0604b7b38158ea4d6d STEP 3 The Tester thinks of a random page number (1..333) and a random line number (1..33) and send me a message like this: Question 1 Page 200 Line 20 MD5 = 8d8f057938438f0604b7b38158ea4d6d STEP 4 I send the Tester the Bibliomancy 'answer' to his question like this: <<didn't study very much>> STEP 5 REPEAT STEP 2 TO STEP 4 UNTIL ALL 10 QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN 'ASKED' AND 'ANSWERED'. SCORING PHASE STEP 6 The Tester posts his 10 questions in random order. STEP 7 I have 3 guesses at each question from the set of 10 bibliomancy answers. STEP 8 The Tester posts the 10 questions in original order with the 20 digit private keys so everyone can check that was the actual order. STEP 9 The number of correct guesses is tallied, the expected average result is 3 out of 10. STEP 10 If I scored above average, then my odds are calculated using a binomial calculator. A maximum of 10 Testers with 10 questions each would be required to defeat a total of 1,000,000:1 odds. VARIATIONS You can post on a public forum your page and line numbers, or email me. You can put me in a sealed booth. You can use Zenner Cards and write the questions on them. You can skip the MD5 check if you have an unbiased umpire present. -------------------------EXAMPLE TEST------------------------- QUESTION AND ANSWER PHASE "A B" <a@a.uk> wrote in ... >> > (Condensing the questions and answers a bit.) >> > > > > > > Question 1, Page 199, Line 5 >> > > > > > > 83b0e31ba7b7fb407ee37116416b6f7f >> > > > > > ><<I saw you putting something into the food yesterday>> >> >> > > > > > > Question 2, Page 3, Line 3 >> > > > > > > 1f2e17481acdcb4920dd292a744ae34d >> > > > > > ><<ridge to fill their hungry bellies.

I READ YOUR MIND what question you are thinking of, via Bibliomancy, guessing from several options. But you have to think of a QUESTION to invoke MOTIVATION for the mindreading. NOTE: You don't score my answer to your question, I just use the answer to work backwards what Question you were thinking of. I use a 'remote' version of Bibliomancy, you tell me just a page number and line number and that quote will answer your question, BLIND. You don't have to tell me your question. It provides an objective way to score mind reading.

Succint??? Huh? is no where as succint as WTF?????????????
G. ADAM - I am lost in space here with your last post.
Re: There needs to be a prize run by non-skeptics
You think of a Question, encrypt it so you don't cheat, and think up 2 random numbers, and the quote in my book at that page and line number is your answer!
TESTER: Question 1 Page 200 Line 20 MD5 = 8d8f057938438f0604b7b38158ea4d6d ME: <<the rain on the plain makes it green again>> Then you show your question. You can try it out SUBJECTIVELY just by telling me a page and line number. The mindreading part is just to get an OBJECTIVE result.

Re: There needs to be a prize run by non-skeptics
With all due respect for what you are trying to accomplish, I believe that there is some substantial subjectivity in the process you propose.
I am speaking of the nature of the questions and answers. If I understand correctly, the subject decides on a question, chooses some numbers to represent a page & a line in a book, and that line is supposed to contain the anwser to the question. I see a great potential in that process to subjectivly interpret the meaning of the book quote and create a relevence to the question where none exists. A much more meaningful and convincing method would be to make an attempt at directly matching colors, numbers, or symbols. The zenner cards you mention are a perfect example. Since the guessed symbols either match or not, there is no grey area and no subjective interpretation of the results. It is a completely objective process. They also have a fixed, limited number of symbols, making calculation of the odds against chance sucess very easy. regards, Canis
Re: There needs to be a prize run by non-skeptics
Yes its quite subjective most of the time, but worth a few trials.
In the objective test protocol, you ask me 10 questions without revealing them. Then you tell me the 10 questions reordered and I sort them. The only way to do that would be to read your mind what question you were thinking of. Look up MD5 calculator, relying on you to honestly tell me your question after I've answered it won't work, all skeptics will change their question to cheat.

Re: There needs to be a prize run by non-skeptics
oh man this is really cool !
G man! i hope you are the first believer that actually does show his stuff we had before a Remote Viewer that never wanted to show his ability but it seems you are up for doing this
Re: There needs to be a prize run by non-skeptics
well you better think of a question then!
Don't tell me though, type it in here... http://md5-hash-online.waraxe.us/
