Proof of ESP

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
This is less of a coincidence and more proof of ESP: I once rode into town on my bike,upon which I carried a 4digit coded bike lock. As I entered town to park my bike,I noticed an unkempt man who seemed to be talking to himself,but then I noted that he seemed to be responding to passers-by. As someone passed him he appeared to be commenting on perhaps what they may have been thinking - eg if a man passed him,the unkempt man might say "Yes,but she won't this time",and this he did for each person passing him. As I approached to park my bike,knowing my 4 digit code - the man turned to me and uttered out loud 4 digits - 3 of which were the correct digits in sequence of my bike lock.
There was no possible way he could have known the code,or that I was thinking of it at that moment.
Oddly,the same bike lock disappeared from my bike some time later - which may have been absent mindedness on my part,but I sometimes wonder whether someone who knew the code had taken it because they knew the code.
Go figure....was this guy on drugs...an alien.....an X-man.......what gives???!
