Telekinese Challenge

Description

The Telekinesis Challenge is a statistical experiment based on the methodology of the Schmidt machine.
The plugin generates pseudorandom values via JavaScript while the user tries to move a red dot clockwise on a circle through focus and mind power.

At the end of the experiment (after 50 runs), the result is stored anonymously in the database (using a custom alias chosen by the user). An integrated chart (Chart.js) allows users to compare their results with the statistical expected value.

Use the shortcode [telekinese_challenge] to embed the experiment on any page or post.
