Since I am a bit of a night owl, I listen to the Coast to Coast show often. I find it entertaining, enlightening, and sometimes educational.

Recently there was a scientist on which was talking about things psi related... premonition, astrology, etc... He had an interesting analogy to explain probability. Hopefully I can restate it reasonably accurately.

You have a thousand people predicting coin flips. They make a prediction of either heads or tails, then flip the coin.

With that many people attempting to predict the coin flips, and them doing it repeatedly, eventually one of them is going to accurately predict ten coin flips in a row.

Does that mean that that one person can predict coin flips while the other 999 can't?
