Garb Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 So, I received an invitation to participate in an predictablity experiment at MIT. No clue how they found me.....freakin' creepy geniuses. Anyway, for $30 bucks, I get to watch football game film - then I have to predict the outcome of the game. If I am successful, I go to the next round...another $10.....next round....another $10...final round and winner...another $10. All in all, it's about a three hour committment. I really don't care about the money - I'm just kind interested in participating for the competition - and wondering what kind of predictability program they are working on. I just don't want any wires connected to my head kind of thing. Screw that. So, should I do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They picked you because all the scientists are betting on whether or not a woman can make it through an entire game without opening her mouth.

Lady Jet Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I say do it. Apparently their football coach retired last fall. http://mitathletics.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/111008aaa.html I'm pretty sure that you were invited to this, because you are one of the people they are looking at to replace him. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't last five seconds into a game without saying something. Shoot, I'd say something during the introductions. The announcer could say his opening "hi...." and I'd have something to say.

JohnnyHector Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm just [...] wondering what kind of predictability program they are working on. Belichick contracted them to come up with a replacement for his video footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbro22 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they've seen that your a female who is pretty knowledgeable about football just from this forum. Or another forum you post on. They probably traced your IP and **** too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
