Paul

Do you know of Paul?



He was born in Weymouth and now resides in Germany's Oberhausen See Life aquarium.

Can you guess who he is?

Well, probably he is the most famous octopus now in the world.

He is just called the 'oracle octopus'.



But how?




OK, so I just tell you that.



A staff at the aquarium help Paul make his prediction by lowering two boxes of food into his tank, one with a German flag and the other bearing that of their opponents.

And the case he opens first is adjudged to be his predicted winner.



Paul previously predicted the winners of all of Germany's World Cup matches, ceating a huge amount of interest around the world. But this is the first time he has to choose between two non-German teams.



And, you know, Spain beat Holland 1-0.



Paul correctly predicted the World Cup final outcome and maintaining a 100% tournament record. (He had correctly predicted the outcome of all 6 matches already.)




Do you believe Paul is a phychic octopus or just lucky? (^^)
