Derren Brown - what a geezer!
Derren Brown (or Darren as he was born) has got us all talking about his lottery stunt. Did he predict the lottery results or was it a clever stunt? Theories as to how he did it include the use of split screen and the possibility that he used some kind of laser printer. Of course with DB you never know! What's bluff and what's double bluff?
A lot of people are saying that his explanation involving "deep maths" is severely suspect.
Here are some things that don't add up or at least look suspicious:
1. Why was the camera shaking throughout? In the hands of a professional camera operative, a hand held wouldn't shake that much.
2. The deep maths theory is dubious. Comparing a large group guessing the weight of a finite item such as the weight of a bull, with guessing a random number doesn't quite make sense.
3. He could have revealed the numbers immediately the last ball had been drawn, but there was a delay - why?
4. He described the "theory of crowds" coming to his thoughts when he was drinking ox tail soup. Hmm! Is this a clue oxtail =? ox tale (ie it's all a story)
5. The snowflake - a clue or trying to put us all off the scent? The Sun has published a story that he in fact got these numbers before xmas from a group of schoolchildren
6. Why did he not allow his group to see the numbers? There is nothing to say that the balls he chose were the numbers they came up with.
