I think I see why you think there is more going on than there is here. Even when you miss, you correct yourself after the reveal and in your mind it becomes a hit.

[Arouet]

Also, I don't get your scoring. Why do you simply call 2/4 a pass? You will get 2/4 approximately 25% of the time. To say that it means anything you need to show that you get 2/4 significantly more often than 25% of the time. And it must be over a significant sample. It is meaningless on it's own.

I told you I would take some time to review the stat portion, I finally did so yesterday (before you were a jerk once again). I'm on my blackberry so will have to keep this short. A 2/4 guess will occur 6/24 or 25% of the time by chance. For something interesting to be going on here you need to exceed that to a statistical degree of significance. I'm no stats expert but would you agree with that?

You're a real piece of work, G. Adam. You act like an ass to me, insult me (I assume the skeptic line was an attempt at an insult) and you still want my help?

I don't know that you can just add up all the hits and misses given a protocol like this. Given that we're dealing with ordering words. Maybe you can, but I'd need someone knowlegeable to confirm. I don't have the expertise and I'm not going to take your word for it.

Besides, you haven't even acknowledged that just guessing 2/4 is meaningless on its own. Have you ever consulted a stats forum to help you put together a propper protocol?

[G. ADAM]

huh? I assumed by your stats post you were taking it on the chin and going on.

I meant proverbial skeptic, I tried to justify myself and point out your good qualities and get blasted for that too!

You know if you let me handle the protocol and you just tele-asked the questions I'd be $1,000,000 richer by now!

[derrida]

so.. according to you Adam
you got 10 hits?
really??

[G. ADAM]

[Arouet]

Still on my BB so can't go into detail, but combiniong the hits here seems to give you better odds than doing it individually - so combining won't work. G Adam do you agree?
