Second last week and Nayonica is in front! Monday 6 June
There are still 2 points from last week to be got! Q3 details and Q5.
The question for this week will be based on my Mind Control Demonstration and explaining it carefully; worth 5 points!!
The “I predict yellow” has been written on the back of the paper in BLACK pen. This is one of the colours of the pens Mr. Alan has. Also, as the writing is smudged, one can see that the text has been written on the plastic. When Mr. Alan leaned back say “are you sure?”, it was a way of distracting us all so he could write on the back of the page. Also, during the trick, Mr. Alan was fiddling with his pens. AFTER Nayonica chose, Mr. Alan moved the tissue box blocking some of our full path of vision. Felix 12:59 PM (4 hours ago)on AW email
OK this is my guess well me and my dad's it has to do with probability so there is a 1 out of 3 chance I would pick yellow anyway so if we chose yellow its the most likely so you wrote it there because tis the most vibrant but if I had chosen a different colour you would have pulled out a previously written statement on a chit or something like the I predict yellow for the other colours and you could have pulled it out from anywhere to show us and we'd all be wowed and not care to see what's on the back of the yellow sheet. :)
It was something my dad has showed me in the past and told me and I didn't listen then I thought that this makes sense to what I saw in the critical thinking video so my dad did the reminding and he kept telling me to listen then I did so we both did a bit plus you I learnt that you must always listen to your dad the first time but I still did relate it do the video and some thinking so my dad din't do all of it :) but yes he helped
