Just what we need another theory!!

But to be serious the persons with a serious form of autism most likely could not. But the one with less serious autism who No's. I think I can at least second quest some people but who No's. Maybe with some type of training I think if less serious types of autism You may have a probability of doing it to. But who No's.

No, you're mistaking empathy with telepathy. I'm empathic, but of course I can't know what someone else is thinking. Counsellor Troi was supposed to be "empathic," but she clearly had some fuill-blown psychic ability. She was also hot.

I'm thinking of a 4-digit, base 10, number. What is it? Each person has 2 chances of getting it right and the odds on one try are 1 out of 10,000 of being correct. I have written it down. Start guessing, or, if you can, go through the database of my mind and retrieve it.

Wow, that's inspiring. They should have a word for people who can predict utterly trivial things 4 minutes into the future. :P

You mean the number you were thinking of when you started typing, or the other numbers?
