Psychokinetic Potential And Beating The Odds Of 7776 To 1

Here’s a strange experience from a 67 Not Out reader, Terry.

All things are possible, even five 6′s. I was looking through a book I have, The Element Encyclopedia of Ghosts & Hauntings, and came across what they call a Dice Test. It says that this is used in psi testing for investigating psychokinesis, the psychic power of the mind to influence objects. The simple test goes like this:

Concentrate your mind upon the throwing of a six (on a die). You can speak or shout at the dice but you may not in any other way influence it. If you score a six write this down. Do this thirty times. How many sixes did you score?

8+ There is less than 1% chance of attaining this score, good evidence for psychokinetic ability.

7. Psychokinetic potential high – there is less than 8% chance of attaining this score.

6. psychokinetic potential still likely as this is above chance.

3-5 Within the area of chance.

2. Less than 3% chance of attaining this score.

1. High psychokinetic potential but working backwards – less than 1% chance of attaining this score.

I just tried the above myself and with the first six throws got three sixes! But then it went downhill and I ended up with only five sixes in my 30 throws – which is within the area of chance. Disappointing, perhaps I got too over confident after my first six throws! But I will try again later.

I understand though what Terry’s wife meant when she said she knew it was going to happen. A while back I bought a raffle ticket at a social event and when the raffle was being drawn I ‘knew’ I was going to win the prize (a hamper) and felt almost uncomfortable about this. And sure enough my number was drawn and I won.

There’s lots that we don’t fully understand about, well a lot of things.
