Prescient Paradox - curiouser.co.uk

Win Ł5 CASH!
Do you believe that some people can see into the future? [Thought so.] Now is your chance to test your powers of prediction and win Ł5. An event that may or may not happen in the next five minutes has been written on a peice of paper. For example, it might be written that the person nearest to you is going to spontaneously combust in the next 5 minutes. Equally, it might be written that the world is going to end in the next five minutes; it could be anything at all. All you have to do is predict whether or not the event will happen. If you are correct, curiouser.co.uk will send you Ł5 cash. Viewers are trusted to have no more than one attempt at this prediction. Breach of this trust will result in non-payment. If you predict that the event that has been written on the piece of paper will happen, press YES. If you predict that it will not happen, press NO. When you make your choice, (assuming that it is your choice and not a preordained event over which you have no control) a scan of the piece of paper on which the prediction was made will appear on your screen. Remember, you only have one chance, so think very carefully. < YES > < NO >
