I'm pretty sure you need to submit your challenge application according to the information on this page: http://www.randi.org/research/index.html.

I'm sure someone else can advise in more detail and perhaps assist you.

Cuddles · 15th August 2006, 02:05 AM

If you wish to make a claim it is up to you to apply through the extablished route, Randi will not just read articles you've written. You need to focus on one claim - I would recomend projecting thoughts since that is easy to test, assuming you can control what thoughts are sent. You will also need to come up with a strict protocol for testing that will eliminate all possibility of trickery or chance. You can expect this to be vigorously debated and should not be offended if it is implied you are cheating, no-one will accuse you of being a fraud, but any chance of cheating must be eliminated.

It is a good idea to post any proposed protocol here so forum members can check it and propose improvements before you submit an application. Forum members do not represent the JREF, but are likely to ask the same questions.

If you are not the person with the supernatural powers, the same will pertain to whosoever is that person. At least here in the forum you have an opportunity to discuss these powers with other members. This, as suggested by others, may provide greater clarity about the nature and extent of such abilities, which in turn can minimise time and resource wastages in protocol establishment and testing procedures.

For example, have these powers been examined and/or witnessed and/or pronounced upon by any independent credible witnesses, such as a doctor, university professor, lawyer, etc.? Such isn't a requirement or proof, of course, but it helps in moving things forward.

It's very kind of you to offer such, but googling has proved somewhat less fruitful than I'd hoped. There seems to be a surfeit of "rule sets" - and I use those terms and the inverted commas carefully - out there, so I'm not sure just which one applies here.

A more significant impediment is my inadequate familiarity with London's infrastructure. I think a better strategy might be for me to observe, and contribute when I think I can. The nature of any ensuing commentary, i.e. castigating or laudatory, will help me find the right, er, path where necessary.

So please continue where Mojo began.

Nice thinking. If I now play High Barnet, that's a nice example of the Circle Line Reversal with the Northern Line Switch - old-fashioned, but I like it.

Mojo · 15th August 2006, 09:56 AM

Are you sure that's allowed after 'Luthon64's reverse diagonal was followed by Holloway Road? Doesn't the Edgware branch come into play here?

malbui · 15th August 2006, 10:02 AM

It's certainly permitted under the Locarno Amendments of 1929, which is what we usually play to over here in social games. If the mood of this board is that Edgware takes precedence, I'll withdraw my move and replace it with Seven Sisters.

Mojo · 15th August 2006, 10:06 AM

That definitely brings the Edgware branch into play, so I'm forced to respond with Tooting Bec.

Anacoluthon64 · 15th August 2006, 10:15 AM

But wasn't that move expressly forbidden on Paddington's M-Rule?

'Luthon64

Mojo · 15th August 2006, 10:48 AM

Not if we're playing the '29 Locarno Amendments with Edgware taking precedence, but I admit it is a pretty fine distinction, and probably only a borderline move.

Please explain this to me, because it looks like a violation of the Hinckley-Bombeck Criterion for Conformal Closures. After The Don played his move, it seemed to me that the two prior moves and the switchback earlier would force a Pullman Stockyard Choke three moves hence, which in turn would necessitate a regroup on Central red, i.e. Grange Hill.

I would say this is allowed under the Greenwich Revisions of '89, although there is some controvosy whether this should take precidence over the H-B Criterion.

Hmm, okay, I'll take a peek at said Greenwich Revisions. In the meantime, any suggestions on how the precedence controversy might be resolved without ambiguity?

MRC_Hans · 16th August 2006, 07:38 AM

That was solved in the Carlton Modification. Unfortunately, that has been considered apocryphical ever since Calton's association with Cholmondly at the 1983 Brisbane tournament was uncovered.

Hans

Camillus · 16th August 2006, 07:51 AM

Well, there have been a number of attempts to resolve this particular problem, none of them entirely satisfactory. I think the closest we came was in 1938 when Wing Commander Bill "Starkers" Starkweather-Moore published his analysis of the effects various rule variations had on the probability of an unresovable double reverse side shunt developing as a result of H-B coming into play.

Unfortunately Starkers was killed in 1940 before he could complete his follow up work on a really effective solution. Others have tried to work out what he had in mind (in fact the group who produced the Greenwich revisions used his work) but the Wing Commander used a personal shorthand that know one has been able to crack. I know the boys at Bletchley Park, some of whom were MC players of international standing before the war, had a crack but even they could not decipher it.

In that case, I'll play a wild card:
Tufnell Park
My partial decryption of the Starkweather Code, combined with study of the unpublished pages of the Greenwich revisions (written by Col JR "Rabbit" Hutchinson in Farsi) has convinced me that this trumps even Barking!

I'm afraid that your eagerness got the better of you, or perhaps you were unaware of three things:

- The Waterloo and City line is closed until later this year
- Regent's Park is closed for refurbishing
- The Jubilee Line Extension has caused the Greenwich Revisions to be reconsidered and Featherstonehaugh's Gambit can no longer be applied retrospectively

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in this case

Okay, I now see the answer to my earlier question - thank you for clearing that up. The last point also makes obvious why the Central red regroup I suggested before is not workable. On that basis, I agree that sophia8's move is valid, though perhaps a little overeager.

By bit-wise correspondence, as allowed in the Jager-Amwald-Baer session some years ago,

Just a thought to help out a newbie. It's very kind of you to offer such, but googling has proved somewhat less fruitful than I'd hoped. There seems to be a surfeit of "rule sets" - and I use those terms and the inverted commas carefully - out there, so I'm not sure just which one applies here. A more significant impediment is my inadequate familiarity with London's infrastructure. I think a better strategy might be for me to observe, and contribute when I think I can. The nature of any ensuing commentary, i.e. castigating or laudatory, will help me find the right, er, path where necessary. So please continue where Mojo began. 'Luthon64

Just a thought to help out a newbie. Nice thinking. If I now play High Barnet, that's a nice example of the Circle Line Reversal with the Northern Line Switch - old-fashioned, but I like it.

If the mood of this board is that Edgware takes precedence, I'll withdraw my move and replace it with Seven Sisters.

Mojo Mostly harmless Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Nor Flanden Posts: 22,090	That definitely brings the Edgware branch into play, so I'm forced to respond with Tooting Bec.

Mojo Mostly harmless Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Nor Flanden Posts: 22,090	Not if we're playing the '29 Locarno Amendments with Edgware taking precedence, but I admit it is a pretty fine distinction, and probably only a borderline move.

I know James Randi is busy with uncoverring paranormal fraud, it seems he has already proved all these published paranormal phenomena and famous paranormal power holder are fraud. In this case, I want to know why he is still busy with the issue, don't he think it is waste time and money? I come here again just with the hope of he will choise some of non-famous claim which might being prevented to be published by somebody.

What is it with Tooting Bec that appeals so much, even to experienced players? .... I suspect it is simply its appealing sound. Well, you leave me little option, provided we still want to keep the game transparant to spectators, other than risking: Bermondsey Hans

They have access to MC modelling systems you can only dream of and at night play by a set of arcane "lights out" rules. So here goes... Ravenscourt Park

I am sure he will indeed take an interest in looking into this - if you submit an appropriate claim through the usual channels.

Thank you Please explain this to me, because it looks like a violation of the Hinckley-Bombeck Criterion for Conformal Closures. After The Don played his move, it seemed to me that the two prior moves and the switchback earlier would force a Pullman Stockyard Choke three moves hence, which in turn would necessitate a regroup on Central red, i.e. Grange Hill. Am I wrong? 'Luthon64

Hmm, okay, I'll take a peek at said Greenwich Revisions. In the meantime, any suggestions on how the precedence controversy might be resolved without ambiguity? 'Luthon64
