Message to the millions of jedi followers....

Sorry to say there has not been much action on the JEDI CHALLENGE thel last couple of months. This is due to a complicated back surgery I had in January. It was not very sucsessfull and i am now dealing with the norwegian healthcare system to deal with it. Theese things takes time, and I am in no shape at the moment to play challenges. The next 3-4 months I have to travel quite a bit due to medical needs and will therefore not be dealing so much with BACKAMMON.

When I have recovered the Jedi Challenge will be back online, with me, Clarak, Jimmy and Mcenroe.... It could take a month or three though.... To make this blogg go further, any other challenge without the Jedi present is welcome. Sondre will make the decisions about that.

C u all...when i get back. Right now...I have to recover! But I will return!

Eating tournament in Sin City

All you can eat turnament - heads up


         JIM                                          VS               JEDI

Blinds went up every 5 minutes, meaning more fries where added to the plate.Jedi gave up after one and a half steak and God knows how much fries.... Jim kept the preassure on and was victorious.

Jim took the double...he won both statt and victory, and ate at world champ level.

Jedi did not stand a chance.... When Jedi was crawling out of the restaurant the waiter said he had never seen something so pathetic.Allthough Jim had won the challenge quite comfortably... He kept on eating.... We at the 'challenge' can only say one thing...R.E.S.P.E.C.T

About the american people

The nature of the Americans


During the three weeks we stayed in the US we only met polite and very helpful people. If you ask someone for help, eightger for the direction, for a light or anything...they go through a world of trouble to help you out.

Here is an example. Jedi is walking, totally lost in the Sin City...wondering where all his luck went.
Mr. Presly and Mr Balboa carfully explained to me where it was. And i must say. When things got rough in Vegas...I talked to Elvis a lot....


Rocky just told me... "Go get'em kid....you can do it...."


As i said...nothing is quite like Vegas

Back From Vegas

The Boys are back!

Ait...Sorry that we were unable to provide live coverage of the vegas trip. We had some technical issues along the way.

First we had to buy a digital camera. Jedi did so, but lost the software and cables. Then it was the power converters....and then it was the internet connection that had to be bouth trhough the visa card. We frequently had troubles with visa transactions from any casino. I do not know if that had anything to do with norwegian goverment regulations when it comes to use of visa & gambling, but It was a nighmare to get online!

Anyway. The trip will be thorougly covered next week when
I have gotten the pictures out of the cameras memory card. We will rate casinoes, food, and other valuable things in Vegas.

All i can say right now... Sin city is intense. But you have to go there. Nothing is like Vegas....

Nothing.

The Vegas Experience - Part 1

Oslo - London

Due to a recent computercrash the blog has been down for about a week. We are now back online.

Special Agent Pedersen and Special Agent Larsen has been sent to Vegas by the J.E.D.I organisation to investigate the randomness of the Las Vegas dealers.
Every table will be examinated. Every card will be turned.

Pedersen & Larsen is currently in Oslo awaiting the J.E.D.I privat space jet, Dice Force1 to dock.

Arrival in Vegas will be somewhere tomorrow. We will spend one day in London playing a Freezout and tasting some brittish beer.

Stay tuned for the Vegas Revelation. There will be many updates the next 20 days!

The Rulette Experiment: Conclusion!

Alright. My hypothesis about  the Rulette hitting red with an unusal rate during 100 games was not supported at all. In fact it hit black the most during the experiment. I then sat XG on rolling out all our games. When he had analysed about 250 games my house suffered a electrical power loss, then the J.E.D.I computer network got an blue screen. It crashed and burned! This have never happend before. I had to buy a new laptop! Well, that was not the worst thing that could happend. It was old...and needed to rest!

Anyway, last time i checked the profile it said that the rulette indeed hit red more often than black. The numbers idicated that I had not been very lucky,  but  it was not outside any x-file parameters. Meaning...It was no X-file!  In other words, nothing out of the ordianry eccept being unlucky inside acceptable frames. Due to my computer crash not all the games got analysed. I think i missed out on about 80-100 games.

I also checked what XG said about dice distribution, and all paramters checked out ok.

So, since everything comes down  to the numbers..., my hypothesis did not hold up and Xristos won the t-shirt. He has still not claimed it though.

I can only conclude that this is another example that the human psycology is fragile. Fox Mulder needs Scully (XG) and visa versa.

So not only did Xristos win against me. His games also fried my computer! Thats a bad week!

I still own a spaceship though!!!

The Rulette Experiment: Part 2

Ait. It looks like Xristos wins the T-shirt.

After 90 games the strenght is equal and luck is ignisificant. Atlantis is 3 points up.So moneywise...we both got screwed, and Play was the big winner.

No matter what happens in the 10 following games, nothing abnormal can happend with the numbers.

So my hypothesis about the rulette hitting Red with an unusual target rate was not supported, at least concerning the 100 games that originally was the experiment.

I will how ever just for fun analyse all the previous games to see if the numbers change radically. How ever in the framework i put for this experiment 100 games, i was wrong. The only thing i really prooved was my own paranoia!

So Xristos. Please send you adress to me at pedersengeir@live.no  and I will send you the T-shirt as promised. It's a quality T-shirt, no cheap stuff!

You won it fair and square!
