Default Org Experiment Chat Thread

I might just end up talking to myself in here but given I've got 4 responders in 5 minutes I need to say you guys have surprised me once again, I did wonder if the reaction would just be one of but it's a novelty if nothing else. Thanks so much for the replies so far!

Re the question what if I win big, the chances are still the same and £500 for picking some numbers seems pretty good to me, plus if you wanted a larger share then you can play the same numbers I will at the end of it.

I did ponder the idea of an org syndicate but guess that administration alone would kill the idea.

i like this idea. once the numbers are chosen how about making them a regular org lottery number and have it stickied.

This can't possibly work unless you are the Brown himself but I've put some numbers in for the sake of fun. I may even do a bit of correlation myself

Sounds like an idea, but who would pay the pound each time or do you mean post them up so whoever wants to put the line on can do?

I'm really surprised by the uptake of this so far, I've added them all into an excel sheet and so far it calculates the spread and average number between the suggestions.

Spread
Min:21
Max: 46

Average
Min: 18.3
Max: 33.3

I'm not sure what criteria I'll play at the end as I'll probably do a few variations but when I decide I'll post them up with details of the selection.

Thanks guys, this is the most interesting thing on my agenda today (Does that speak more about my job or my persona?)

On that I agree, I think the Derren Brown show was a trick as that is what he specialises in.

I don't like using lucky dip somehow as it seems open for abuse (logic says it shouldn't be as its still a game of chance but even so...)
I usually play my lottery numbers when I do play by choosing the most drawn balls, the least drawn and the longest since being drawn.

I have to have some order to it, it's my compulsion.
I've used excel previously to generate random numbers and select based on those but I thought I'd try the human approach and see what happens.

I went to see a lecture with Richard Wiseman who is a kinda celebrity psychologist & magician & it was very interesting indeed. Sure enough he said that although Derren Brown is good at phychology / hypnosis a LOT of it is smoke & mirrors to distract from how he's actually doing the trick.

no idea how the Brown thing worked but logic tells you its impossible. Its not like guessing the number of balls in a jar!

But still, good luck and I hope you get rich!

Did anyone see his show about the lucky dog in Todmorden park?


It was prime example of how luck and superstition, or lack of it....works!

hmm sounds interesting, sadly I missed that one.

Wow 20 lines so far and its not even lunchtime, go Org!

Out of interest, the ones posted by daveyrach, nobbylad and pencilshavings, were they birthdays? usually an indication if the highest number is not above 31. only curious, thanks for the submissions!
