Your wand, Harry! Your wand!

Continuing our discussion from last week, we tried an experiment in divination. We used Zener cards to try to send psychic signals to one another. There are twenty-five zener cards per deck and each has a picture on it. Five circles, five squares, five crosses, five stars, and five squiggles. The sender randomly draws one card and then proceeds to try to send the image to the reciever who then trys to pick what symbol the sender is giving them.

It didn't seem to work very well except for how many should through probability. It was an interesting experiement though. I'm going to be taking the cards home with me to try some more experiments to see if any of my friends are on the same "mental wavelength."
