Not one hit! 🙂 Of course, if a true believer were testing you, she/he would say something along the lines of “Wow! The odds of not getting ANY hits is a million to one! This PROVES that you are psychic!!” ---

Which is astounding when you figure I probably had a 50% chance of going with either copper or silver (you Merikans don’t have gold coins do you?) ---

Us Merkins use cheap alloys. ---

Ahh, but copper, gold and silver are all colours as well as metals. (Although I suppose for cheap Merkin alloys they’d be colors.) ---

Look [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=98028) if you are interested in developing a test procedure which is acceptable to all participants, and meets the level of “double blind” testing methodology. Lots of expertice is needed. ## Tris My real Psychic Friends call me, when I need advice. ---

Acceptable by _us_ maybe, but see what kind of response you get from the group that started this thread in the first place. They don’t seem to be open to testing the viability of Remote Viewing, and consider it an insult that you don’t fully trust the methods _they_ have developed that, coincidently, tells them that they all have this ability. ---

BTW, since I can’t use my coin for Trisky’s test, and the Hawaii group is deathly afraid of any test that they themselves can’t control, I’ll tell you what it is. A twenty cent piece, circa 1875. ---

Gimme couple days and I betcha I’ll be able to make up some spurious links to my word list. 🙂 ---

Seriously. The OP is allowed to request that her thread be locked, right? Well, I’m officially requesting that this thread be locked, because: 1. It was originally started as a place for the HRVG to witness about remote viewing, and I have the feeling that they’ve pretty much finished with that. We haven’t had any more “I believe!” posts in a while. 2. The discussion seems to have moved on from the very general “what does remote viewing entail?” to some actual specific suggested test procedures, and **Rich\_rv** , at least, seems engaged enough to follow up on that. 3. Czarcasm’s “coin” test does not seem to be going over well at the HRVG; I doubt they’re going to come back to discuss it. So, since **Triskadecamus** has so kindly started a new thread in which specific test procedures may be discussed, and since this puppy here is up to 5 pages now and takes f-all time to load (and has very little hard information in it about remote viewing, anyway), I suggest that somebody lock this off and we all pick up our chairs and bowls of popcorn and go over to [Tris’s thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=98028) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Gaspode \* > \*\*(you Merikans don’t have gold coins do you?) \*\* I guess you haven’t heard of the [Golden Dollar](http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/index.cfm?action=golden_dollar_coin) (also called the “Sackie”, after the lady on the obverse, Sacajawea). It actually has no gold in it, it’s simply gold-colored. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/remote-viewing-in-hawaii-continuation-of-the-staff-reports-thread/89612.md?page=10)
