SHIT'S GETTING REAL

If he had psychic powers, he'd never be wrong. He's been wrong twice. The majority of the time he just picks the one on the right. He's a fucking octopus.

not nessisarily. The future has branching paths he could be picking the one thats most likely to happen. Or his prediction changes the future:

I tell you you are going to win
you become complacent and lose

>"They can recognise individual people in a crowd, they can do really clever things like learn to unscrew the lids off jars to get prawns out of the inside, they can collect up half coconut shells and carry them around like portable armour and jump inside if something comes along.

But the octopus has no idea what the world cup is or what his "predictions" would mean. It's not like it has built in knowledge of soccer, or even what the flags represent. It just doesn't have a enough knowledge to even understand the decision. This is dumb.

>> No.1387938

Like the article says, the Octopus owner probably took educated guesses at who would win, then put better food in that teams jar. Fuck this shit.

Low chances are now irrelevant. Apprently, flipping a coin and guessing the right side 12 out of 14 teams means you're psychic.
