Final Score

I've been a bit slow in putting together this final World Cup post. Partly because I was wrapped up in actually watching the final stages, partly because of the bitter, bitter disappointment of the England team's non-performance in those latter stages, which has frankly made me seriously doubt my further interest in the domestic game. But as the new Premiership Season is almost upon us, I thought I'd better finish what I started, for once.

Back at the start of the Experiment, I explained what it was all about, and what I anticipated the final result to to be. I'll quote:
Starting from a 30% success rate I would hope that my knowledge of the game, plus any psychic ability I may have would improve that to at least 60% if not slightly higher. Add in the jinx factor, and I'm guessing that my final total will actually fall somewhere between 50-54%.
So how did I do? From my last post here: Total Score - 25/48 = 52% which was pretty spot on and surprised even me!

Of course, this experiment wasn't at all scientific; my knowledge of the international game may be better or worse than I thought, my psychic abilities may similarly be totally skew whiff to what I think they may be. So many factors, but I find it fascinating that my final result could be so correct. Maybe not as Imperfect as I think, eh?
