Description:

A professed psychic claims the ability to determine from photographs whether a person is living or dead. In a demonstration, she gets the exact result predicted by random chance, failing to show any evidence to support this claim. From episode 6 of 'James Randi - Psychic Investigator' (1991)

The odds of getting all five right are 1 in 32, I think. This assumes that each guess is just a 50-50 guess and not based on deduction eg photo 4 is an old man, 5 looks an old picture etc, so it could be deduced he is more likley dead.

Kinda sad that those people are dead, y'know. Possibly others have died since, and James Randi must be nearing his own end, he is now an old man.
