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](https://discord.gg/jXjTetpvNB). Since we have a critical mass of fediverse people there I think it's a good nexus for outreach and evacuation from discord.

# 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](https://www.emathhelp.net/calculators/probability-statistics/binomial-distribution-calculator/?n=100&x=20&p=0.2) 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.
