From her website:

Guessers at home...
Internet Skeptics came out after the test and said that some 50 to 70 of them had been guessing at home while the test was taking place, and that two of them guessed as well as I did, and that none guessed better than I did, and the rest did worse than I did. If you are one of those who has the documentation around this at-home test please send it to me so that we can have it here and so that it is presented accurately here. Well, one of these lucky guessers is beloved internet Skeptic GeeMack and he loves to say that he guessed his way to results as good as mine. Since he is a foremost opponent of my investigation, he lacks the credibility for me to take his word on it, so if there is any documentation I would love to have it. But my assertion is... that we have to remember that these were 50 to 70 people guessing together! So if we were to consider the statistics from these at-home guessers, my results would be something like (if two people out of 50 got the results I did) 4%, or (if two people out of 70, for the upper estimate) 2.9% to get the results I did by guessing. I was only one person guessing, that is why GeeMack's results, although if as good as mine, still suggest odds of 2.9% to 4%, which is pretty awesome.

I don't love to say I guessed as good as she did. I have been intentionally evasive about the method I used to get the answers I got. Anita is wrong again. Fancy that.

She would love to have some documentation. Hey Anita! I've been asking for the raw data from your FACT "study" for a very long time.

"I was only one person  guessing..."

Hmmm...well, at least Anita is being honest, for a change. That pretty much eliminates any paranormal or synesthetic ability.

Anita views it as a population of one (her) versus a population of 70 (the guessers at home). We skeptics all know the population of one was really GeeMack and Anita was part of the 70! As I explained to Bookitty, if the entire world had played along, 165 MILLION people would have done what she did. If we stuck them all in one place, it would be the 7th most populous country. I guess she would be queen, huh?

This is not skepticism - it's narcissism. Her results are special but nobody else's are.
