New telepathy test: which number did I write?

Hi, I invite you to participate in a new telepathy test. This test is the fourth test I propose on this forum.



At about 2:25 p.m. on this Friday April 11 (Brussels, Belgium time), I wrote carefully one of the four numbers: "1", "2", "3", "4" on my sheet of paper, and I surrounded it with a circle. Then, I wrote it again twice.



I shall repeat this number from time to time during this test.



I ask you to write it here (if you think you know it, even with a doubt). You may also answer "I don't know".





In this test, however, I ask you to not write immediately the number explicitly, in order to make the test more rigorous (more on this below).





I also ask you to write a comment, together with your numerical answer, or at least a small sentence.

In your comment, you may explain, for example, how confident you are that your number is the "correct" one, the one that I wrote. The comment you will write is important for me, in my method, because it should help me figure out if your answer is a quality one, a sincere answer, or just an answer of "inferior quality", which may nevertheless be interesting. I am planning to use your text to rate your answer, on a credibility scale between -10 and 10, like I did in my previous tests on this forum.



Please make sure it is not possible to infer your numerical answer from your comment (e.g. don't write: "I believe the correct answer is greater than one and smaller than three"). Otherwise, your answer will unfortunately have to be considered invalid.



A MD5 hash code for a complicated sentence containing my target number (like, for example: "The number I wrote is 5. f4315d 3b1àéùd81") is:

2ae41c33a0469b37b6c7848249026b0a



It was obtained on this website:

I shall reveal the actual sentence I used to produce this MD5 hash at the end of the test, after I have revealed the target. This way, you'll be able to verify my number.



In this thread, like in my previous test on this forum, I want to evaluate credibilities without any knowledge of the number you picked ("in a blind way"), to make sure that I don't get influenced or biased by the number you chose. This should make this test more rigorous, although at the cost of additional complexity. I hope this (rather minor) additional complexity will not deter you to participate in this test.



To achieve this greater rigor, I ask you to give your answer in two stages. In your first post, you should write your normal, complete answer, with the "guessed" number (1, 2, 3 or 4) replaced by "xx" . So, if your normal, complete answer is, for exemple:

C'mon, tell us what the number was, so we know who's telepathic and who isn't.






(this answer was given by dlorde in a previous test, the number 2 he gave was correct),



post instead:



I'm going for 'xx'.



C'mon, tell us what the number was, so we know who's telepathic and who isn't.




I also ask you to post the MD5 hash of your numerical answer, together with a random string, using this website: http://ift.tt/QipIOX, already mentioned above. For example taking again dlorde's previous answer as an example, post e.g. the MD5 hash of:



2. ouh&~#d jkjb→khf µ&~#-!?}§



which is:



14a47e1928cffdfdb4f7cc71eeca0fdc





People who answer "I don't know" (possibly with a text) don't have to introduce xx's in their answers (and there is no need for MD5 hashes either).



After a reasonable number of forum members have validly answered (if this "reasonable number" is ever achieved ), I should post my "credibility ratings" for all valid answers to this test (and also the number I wrote and circled). When this is done, you should post your numerical answer, together with the string you used to produce your MD5 hash. When all answerers have done that, I should then post the results of the test.



I explain briefly again, using the same example. You should make at least two posts. In your first post, you say:



"I'm going for 'xx'.



C'mon, tell us what the number was, so we know who's telepathic and who isn't.





My MD5 hash is: 14a47e1928cffdfdb4f7cc71eeca0fdc"





and, in your second "essential" post (not just a comment), you write:



"My number was a '2', and the string I used to produce the MD5 hash was:

2. ouh&~#d jkjb→khf µ&~#-!?}§"



Thank you for participating.
