Efter bläckfiskens succé – P4 lanserar eget ”orakel”
Danmark, Schweiz, England och Spanien kommer spela kvartsfinal i fotbolls-EM, om man nu vågar lita på en ”väsande kackerlacka” som P4 Göteborg låter tippa de första slutspelsmatcherna.
Radiokanalen har tagit fram ett eget ”spelorakel” – inspirerat av bläckfisken Paul som hade osannolikt bra koll i fotbolls-VM 2010. Bläckfisken valde då rätt vinnare i åtta av åtta matcher.
bakgrund
Paul the Octopus
Wikipedia (en)
Paul the Octopus (26 January 2008 – 26 October 2010) was a common octopus who predicted the results of international association football matches. Accurate predictions in the 2010 World Cup brought him worldwide attention as an animal oracle.
During divinations, Paul's keepers would present him with two food-containing boxes decorated with the flags of the teams in an upcoming match. Whichever box Paul ate from first was considered his prediction for which team would win the match.
His keepers at the Sea Life Centre in Oberhausen, Germany, mainly tasked him with predicting the outcomes of international matches in which the German team was playing. Paul correctly chose the winning team in four of Germany's six Euro 2008 matches, and all seven of their matches in the 2010 World Cup—including Germany's third place play-off win over Uruguay on 10 July. He also correctly chose Spain as the winner of the 2010 FIFA World Cup final. In all, Paul amassed an overall record of 12 correct predictions out of 14: a success rate of approximately 85.7%.
