  4. Re: Derren Brown, wat ?

    Me too, wtf


    Also if it took him a year, he was probably using some kind of card counting-related trick.

    Too late.
     
  12. Re: Derren Brown, wat ?

    it was delayed by about one second :\

    in that time the balls were still in camera lense view, unless he is super fast and wrote them on as they came out

    wel find out friday

    They could have been looping the left half of the picture...

    I still believe he did it though.

    Looked more like a second or less.

    I can't get my head round it really =S random generation does not produce standardised results. I mean..willpower? Guesswork?

    Guessing the weight of a bull is somewhat different to guessing randomly picked numbers. The opaque tube is what bugs me the most I think..the people picking the numbers never saw his calculation; he could have picked anything D:

    Don't get me wrong, he's a genius however he did it but I am left with lingering doubt.

    I'm up for it Darki XD
     
  17. Re: Derren Brown, wat ?

    I'm pretty sure he really did it. I've noticed strange patterns to randomness like that.

    By studying the past year's numbers, odds are one of them would pick the next random number in the sequence, and the averaging homed in on it.

    lol rolf, it's fucking weird how he can predict numbers before they happen with maths D=

    Lots of people think it was a split screen camera trick, if you watch some footage of it you can see the far left ball raise slightly -- where it wasn't before.

    This is all scrutinised in youtube vids. Loads of them out there.
     
  20. Re: Derren Brown, wat ?

    Well first of all I take to retract my comment about the delay on the video feed, I thought he stole the idea from Jonathan Creek as I missed the first 5 mins of the program and didn't see him say about the live feed.

    But there is no way he did it, how he said he did, its complete and utter bullshit.

    For Example:

    Why did he choose to only use the past year results?
    Why 24 people ?
    Why didn't he show the numbers before the draw began?
