Causation, Mind, and Psionics

[Chas]

For the psychically minded posters here, I propose a simple test.

I have a collection of ten objects here on my desk, apart from the normal desk-related objects. I mean to say that I am not including my computer, monitor, printer, pen cup, and so forth. The objects I have in mind are ones that are not normally found on a desk, but neither are they rare or unusual objects.

The test is as follows: Name and describe as many of the objects as you can. Descriptions do not have to be unduly precise, but neither should they be overly general. I would not accept 'coffee mug', but I would accept 'blue coffee mug', for example. There is no need, however, to answer 'blue coffee mug with a chip out of the handle that happened when you bumped it against the edge of the sink in 2011.' This is to prevent a reasonable guess from being judged a 'hit', as well as to unfairly judge 'a miss'.

3 correct out of 10, and I will contact the Randi Foundation on your behalf.

NB: I don't own a blue coffee mug.

A revolver, a knife, and a lead pipe. And you're in the conservatory.
