How Predictable Are You?

Welcome to the magic prediction game! I'm Richard, and I'm about to blow your mind with a little experiment. Are you ready? Lean forward and place your finger on the start square. During this test, you can move from side to side, up and down, and even revisit a square you've been to before. But there's one rule - no moving diagonally. Got it? Great! Now make your first move.

The Power of Prediction

At this moment, your finger is on one of two squares. Keep it right where it is. Every time I say a number, make a move - up, down, left, or right. Here we go: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... And I predict that you won't have chosen the house over here. Let's try again: one, two, three... And now I predict you won't have chosen the V.

Unveiling the Mystery

Let's keep going! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... This time I predict you won't be on this symbol here. Another round: one, two, three, four, five... And now your finger is not on the arrows. Let's continue: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... You haven't chosen the unhappy face over here.

The Final Revelation

One last move now. I predict you didn't choose the Q but instead your finger is on the happy face. And that is the prediction!

So what just happened? How did I know where your finger would end up? It's all about perception and expectation. Our brains are wired to seek patterns and make predictions based on those patterns. But sometimes those predictions can be surprising - just like in this game!

In conclusion...

The magic prediction game is a fun way to demonstrate how our minds work when it comes to making predictions and perceiving patterns. It's a reminder that things aren't always as they seem and that surprises can be just around the corner. So next time you're faced with a prediction or an unexpected outcome, remember this game and embrace the mystery and excitement of not knowing what will happen next.

Now go ahead and try this game with your friends or family members and see if they can figure out the secret behind the magic prediction!
