How Derren Brown ‘predicted’ the lotto
Just finished watching Derren Brown reveal how he predicted the numbers.
Err.. err well hummmm err. He says he used “The Wisdom of the Crowds”
I have read this book. And yeah I guess he may have used this book, certainly he does follow formula in the book. If you ever saw Derren have a group of people guess the sweets in the jar trick then you have already seen him use information from this book.
I can honestly tell you - for a fact that this does work (well for the sweet jar anyhow) - please don’t ask how I know that, but I know the sweet jar DOES without question work. Don’t believe me? Try this… the next time you go to a fayre and the guess the sweets in the jar competition is being played then you MUST do the following…
Get the guesses add them up divide by the total number of guessers and with this average compare to the answer. Then you’ll know what I mean. And you’ll know how Derrin did the sweets in the jar trick. And maybe you’ll have more of an insight to how he won the lottery.
Of course the question has to be : Is this how he did it ? Or is this simply more mis-direction ?
Now if that doesn’t work for you - and lets face it - it is far from trivial then you can always use this. It certainly uses a crowd to shift your odds
