Thread Name: BS: I claim the record!
Subject: RE: BS: I claim the record!
shucks, I once answered a question on a TV quiz program before they asked it!

It was in the category of "famous battles" and there were several levels of difficulty, so, in front of two witnesses, I said "I'll take the 2nd level (double your bet) and the answer is "Thermopylae". Sure enough, the contestant chose the 2nd level, and the question started..." In what battle did a few Greek soldiers hold of an army of Persians..."

I got some strange looks and a "how did you know what they were gonna ask?"

Inductive logic!
