I’m practically using this as my dream journal. I had this LD just seconds ago, literally. So excuse my spellings or whatever. I’ll post more of it later in the diary.
My birthday has just past in September.
I went into a classroom like setting to meet some people, I sat down in a chair to talk to a few of them. I noticed one was busy on his computer, Windows 95 , I thought it would be fun to either email myself or check out the forum. I reached for the mouse and started looking for the keyboard. I was just about to ask the DC how he has been using this thing, I was thinking he used it telepathically or something. … but right then I thought “Oh yeah! I’ve got more to ask him then how to work this darn computer.” I instantly remembered this experiment.
I asked the question to him, he was sitting to the left of me, he answered 5. I didn’t tell him right or wrong, I was just determined to carry this memory into waking reality. I wanted more input. I turned to the guy I was talking with earlier that was on my right. He answered “at the beginning” I suppose he meant at the beginning of the year. I don’t know. I walked over to a different row of computers and asked a guy that looked like he was busy doing homework. He answered with a tone in his speech that sounded like he was a know-it-all mathmatican with “4 and 1 slint …” ??? I cut him off because he wasn’t making sense, but yet sounded like he was saying some large fraction. Days are not a fraction. I tried asking this girl that was sitting slightly behind him. She was in a joyful mood and we started joking around. She had me laughing about something. Hmmm. Aw well, I eventually got her to answer with “28.” So she was way off. When she answered I remember trying to guess what she would answer before she did. I guessed 28, so I think I made her choose 28. The time we spent joking around gave time for me to “guess” what she would answer before I got a chance to ask her the question. I didn’t get a quick answer from her. … Women.
By then this LD has lasted about 10 minutes, very lenthy! So I decided to fade away from fun girl and drift to reality to post this message in the freshness.
I read Zewu post before I went to sleep and it reminded me of this neat experiment. So I was determined to give an answer. My birthday is now 330 days away. They gave “5, at the beginning, 4 and 1 slint, and 28” all are completely absurd.
My verdict. DC’s are not very good birthday guessers, yet I was amused with my psychic skills by guessing “28.”
I think there is a flaw in this experiment though. The DCs are not really performing math, it’s more of a guessing game. How do the DC’s know my birthday? … besides the point they are my minds creation. If I would have thought of it, I would have asked them simple math like 8+8 or something. I’m going back to sleep, maybe I’ll ask then.
