The Great H2G2 Luck Experiment

1 Conversation

Do you consider yourself a lucky or unlucky person?

Have you ever done anything which you consider lucky?

Do you believe in luck?

The last question is the really important one!! Does luck really exist? Do statistitions have it right when they say everything is random?

I thought it's about time we discovered if there's a link. This is where you (the friendly researcher) came in.

All I wanted to know to know is whether you consider yourself to be lucky or unlucky and whether you thought todays coin will land heads or tails.

Anyone who guessed right on their first guess was put into the "People who guessed right" section, along with how well they've done and whether they think they're lucky or unlucky.

These lists only applied to your first guess, so you had to guess carefully!!!

There is also be a hall of fame - The five people who consecutively guessed right the most and the five people who consecutively guessed wrong the most times.

And Thanks to all the people who took part - TDiD, Uni student using this for a dissertation.
