Jed, I am waiting for Mary to give an example. It is not your question. Just in case someone were to scam your experiment, you have to realize that there are no limits on what is acceptable. You would not be able to set up the final experiment since that is part of the scam.

Please, after you. Pick one yourself -- whichever you consider easiest to scam, and tell us how you would do it. By the way, I do not mean that it is impossible to make a fake telephone with gutta percha, or a fake x-ray with a pre-arranged photo. I meant that I can set up an irrefutable demonstration, and people did set up such demonstrations. For example, to prove that an x-ray really does penetrate material we cannot see through, you ask the skeptic to assemble some metal objects from his house and put them into a box. Any objects, arranged any way he likes (and perhaps glued down). A fork, a coin, scissors, or what have you. Close the box, bring it to me, I x-ray it and show you what is inside. Anyone who would dispute that would be crazy. - Jed
