This man works on a small farm in Kenya. If anyone would be interested in joining a group voice chat with him (tomorrow) Sunday afternoon let me know.

Hello here are some friends I met on the watchredditdie discord. Since we have a critical mass of fediverse people there I think it’s a good nexus for outreach and evacuation from discord.

@zleap is the source of the #YearOfTheFediverse tag and banner

@category_mirrory is a fan of category theory and math<->language metaphors such as homomorphism<->metaphor.

@jlj hosts nfld and is an expert in diodes and lateral thinking.

@nar is a big aether buff who is very short on time.

@Liberonscien likes tracing where restaurants get their ingredients.

The Paradox of Consistency - Part One

Background: The government is testing citizens for telepathic potential.

Procedure: Each citizen is pulled into a room containing an experimenter, a face-down deck of 100 Zenner Cards (5 possible symbols), and 5 buttons each marked with a Zenner Symbol. The experimenter draws and looks at a card without showing it to the citizen, and the citizen tries to press the correct button, until the entire deck is depleted.

Question: At what threshold of correct guesses should the government consider it extremely likely the citizen has telepathic potential (<1% chance of reaching by random guessing)? Feel free to approximate.

Assumptions: The deck is perfectly random and can contain infinite duplicates. No cheating whatsoever occurs. No information leaks (except through telepathy).

Hint: Only trying values in this tool is necessary to find the answer. The pre-loaded values show that there is a 44.05384% of chance of guessing more than 20 cards correctly without telepathic ability.
