Agree; it would have been interesting to hear the responses if he had asked Alice (or Bob) "what was I trying to say at the time where I said 'points'"? Or if he had even asked them to summarize his talk up until that point.
- electromagnetic 16y agoI remember a class back in my psychology course in college. They ask you to focus on something, such as a counting task and (in this case waiting for him to say 'points') put something totally obvious in front of you that you won't see. Here's a good example of the total blindness that focus can cause.

Remember, magicians rely on misleading your focus for their entire acts. Watch the coin hidden in my right hand, when I really slipped it into my left hand and dropped it into my pocket and oh look the coin is gone. Is it behind your right ear? Oh no I took it out of my pocket and look it's behind your left ear!
