> Who is the liar ? Who does not respect his own commitment ?

> Read on the Paranormal Review web site :
>
> UNITED STATES. Arch sceptic James Randi’s most recent stunt to
> “disprove” the existence of paranormal powers has sensationally failed.
>
> As part of his $1 million offer to the first person to provide him with
> convincing, testable proof of supernatural powers, Randi had set up a
> remote viewing challenge involving the contents of a special sealed box
> held at his educational foundation’s offices in Florida.
>
> But two cryptographers have correctly identified the object inside the
> box as a DVD or CD and – tongue in cheek – have told Randi that either a
> money order or certified cheque for $1 million will be acceptable.
>
> The good news for Randi is that Matt Blaze (above) who solved the
> challenge, along with Jutta Degener, is a fan of Randi and has no
> intention of claiming the prize. He also came up with the answer not by
> remote viewing across 1,000 miles from the Penn Engineering faculty in
> Philadelphia, where he is an associate professor of Computer and
> Information Science, but by using his mental powers to decipher a
> cryptic clue published by Randi.
>
> The problem for publicity-seeking challenges like Randi’s is that they
> rely to a large degree on trust. But psychics don’t trust the American
> magician and he disbelieves their claims.
>
> So, when Randi (left) hid something in a box at the James Randi
> Educational Foundation (JREF) in Fort Lauderdale, there would inevitably
> be those who would expect him to cheat by denying even correct remote
> visions of the box’s contents, perhaps by switching them before opening
> the box.
>
> To overcome such allegations and be able to prove the challenge was
> fair, Randi decided in January to publish an encoded description of the
> box’s secret contents:
>
>
> 0679
> 4388
> 66/27
> 5-14
>
>
> It took Blaze and Degener only a short while to suspect – or, they say,
> “if you prefer, we had a divine inspiration” – that the first 10 digits
> might represent the ISBN number of a published book. An Internet search
> confirmed it was for the 1995 edition of the Random House Webster’s
> College Dictionary.
>
> When the cryptographers eventually obtained a copy, they turned to page
> 275 (/27 5) and counted up 14 lines from the bottom (-14), where they
> discovered a description of a compact disc.
>
> The not-so-amazing Randi had failed to realise that gifted
> cryptographers might be more successful than the psychics he was
> challenging and who, by and large, treat his various contests with contempt.
>
> Randi’s encoded description – cryptographers call it a “commitment
> function” – proved to be reversible, which was why Blaze and Degener
> were able to crack it. But they also point out that it was subject to
> “collisions”, by which they mean it could be interpreted in different ways.
>
> For example, instead of counting 14 lines from the bottom of page 275,
> they (or Randi) could have claimed that it referred to the first column,
> fourth entry on that page, in which case the object in the box would
> have been the Communist Manifesto instead of a compact disc.
>
> In other words, Randi could have been accused of exploiting this ambiguity.
>
> It is claimed on the JREF forum website that Randi’s remote viewing
> challenge was only aimed at well-known remote viewer Ed Dames and seven
> colleagues. Even so, had the encoded message been solved by an
> unscrupulous cryptographer who, in turn, contacted Ed Dames and told him
> the answer, and if Dames decided to teach Randi a lesson by using the
> information, instead of remote viewing, then Randi could be $1 million
> worse off right now.
>
> If nothing else, this episode proves how futile Randi’s challenges are
> and how sloppy the protocols are that he tries to impose. It astonishes
> many parapsychologists that his sceptical reputation is largely built on
> such shaky foundations.

A chaque fois que je suis à côté d'un liquide, je ressens toujours la même chose. 
Et je n'ai pas essayé d'aller plus loin en distance.
