Then we did the coin tosses. She did her three tosses, I did my three tosses. That day she came out with -1, two tails and one head. I think this shook her up the most, because she was EXTREMELY excited about it. I did mine, I came out with -3, three tails. She demanded a retry; I didn't object. She came out with +1, one tail and two heads. I did mine, and got +3, three heads. She wanted to do it again and I refused, because we had agreed to do only three tosses each for each day. I "tricked" her into trying the next day by telling her that maybe (!!) it wasn't quite a Full Moon, and we should try next day, after REALLY being a Full Moon.
The next day was cloudy. She didn't want to try it, but I managed to do it anyway by using a software program to time the rise of the Moon. We did the launch. I don't remember my launch, but I remember she got +1. She wanted to stop right then and there, telling that it didn't count because the Moon wasn't visible (it was there, just the clouds wouldn't let us see it). I stopped her sillyness because she wanted to convince me that the Moon couldn't be there because we didn't see it -- I told her that when she spoke on the phone with me I was really there.
After this run, she lost all spirit to try it. She didn't want to do it anymore. She knows about my science background and she was a little angry at me thinking I "tricked" her by using coins and "scientific testings" and that it didn't work because I didn't really believe in it and it only works with people who believe in it (uh-hu ...) -- but the fact is that she didn't enjoyed the outcome. I *WANTED* her to keep trying it, but she gave up. She should have continued it -- after all she "believed" in it -- so maybe she would have got a good result. She objected to coin tosses because they were impersonal -- had nothing to do with people's expectations. I objected her objection, because she wanted a scientific proof that it works, I proposed a protocol that she agreed on, and I had demonstrated that it didn't stray far from random tosses. Of course, it wasn't the best protocol (in retrospect, we should have done a control experiment by tossing when the Moon was on other quadrants of the sky, even below the horizon) but it didn't produce any sensible results. She suggested that maybe I should have done it when the Moon was high in the sky, but when I suggested we start all over she shyed away from it; and I didn't really want to proceed further.
