Scientific Intuition Test
This is a voluntary test. No one is obliged to participate. This script typically does not store any information on the server. However, you should not take this as a guarantee. Someone else could even evesdrop on this test. (However, you are not that important. No one really cares what you answer.)
Scenario
You have a grant for $10 million. Your goal is to figure out the rule that generates the triplet data that you can try out and observe. Each experiment that you run costs $1 million and takes 6 month. When you are ready to publish your results, you will get $20 million if you published the correct rule, and nothing if you published the wrong rule. Money not spent can fund your other work, your lab assistants, your house, etc.
Each experimental run requires you to provide three numbers (a triplet). At the end, each experiment tells you whether your triplet followed the true scientific rule or did not.
Your first triplet (which got you the grant) was
| First | Second | Third |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 4 | 8 |
When you are done running experiments, please explain the rule (publish your scientific paper).
