Good Bye Paul The Octopus

Paul the Octopus, who correctly predicted the outcome of games during this year’s World Cup soccer tournament, is dead. His caretakers set him up to make predictions for a particular match by draping boxes in his tank with the national flags of teams that were set to play each other. The boxes contained food for Paul. The caretakers divined his pick by watching to see which box he opened first. [Source: CNN]
