It is in fact, North - and although the sampling size of 19 is tiny, 52% of the 19 voters voted for North, which indeed came out as predicted.

Got a question and not sure what the answer is? Start a poll and find the answer. The majority will point you in the right direction.

thats just gay dude. if you want to test the esp of the subconscious you dont ask questions that can be worked out with educated guessing.

which way a house faces, for example, is not too random a thing, and with only 4 answers, at worst you can expect 25% to guess right.

if you want true shit, you have to ask shit like:

"whats the name of my neighbors dog?"

"what is my favorite letter?"

"i'm holding a leaf right now. How many times have I wiped my ass with such leaves in the last 30 years?"

"what make and model is/was my mom's car?"

shit thats more random, has at least 10 possible answers, and that can't be worked out as well as your original question.

By that logic, the "Ask the audience" lifeline on "Who Wants to be a Millionare" would never fail.

If you knew a fucking thing you would realize that it is an extremely random question. Michigan is a rectangular coordinate survey system state. That means there are (mostly) square townships, square sections and square subsections with roads running E-W and N-S nearly every mile. If you surveyed the homes in the state of MI, you will find an almost equal number of houses with N, S, E, and W facing backyards, since there are opportunities to build in any direction and by far the majority of homes are positioned in such a fashion as to face the main road they are accessed from.

No, because probability can fail, its just that we would not expect it to.

For example, I would not expect you to go out and win an average state lottery by purchasing a ticket, since there is a very low probability that you would be able to win, but you still have the chance against all odds...which is why people buy them.

so even if this bullshit explanation you pulled out of your ass were true, you still only have 4 answers. That's 1 in 4 chance. That's not random for shit.

Make a question with 10 answers and about something that is random as shit and which no man can accurately derandomize in order to make an educated guess.
