I really can't tell if that last one is genuine or a send-up. Anyone?

Mindreader: I won twice and lost twice, the difference being I won by 1 and 2 but lost by 7 and 15. I suspect you could get good at it though - assuming it doesn't cheat at all.

Office 2010 The Movie

I threw up into my mouth a little.

I reminded me of the time a compnay I worked for got taken over by another and the head of that compnay came to our offices and told us, "We're cool, see- no tie." while he stood in a full suit with loafers and all, but with a black t-shirt underneath his suit.

I threw up into my mouth a little then too.

It's not really that hard to win Mindreader - my best strategy was to do a short sequence of all 1 or all 0 followed by switching when the computer caught up.

I was suspicious of Mindreader after it won handily on effectively random data: I entered the binary expansion of pi, and then (in case the former had been a special case it knew about) that of pi*e/phi. However, I downloaded its source code and tested it in an environment where I could be sure it wasn't cheating, and it appears it did legitimately get lucky on those two sequences. It loses on sqrt(2) :-)
