7. Predicting Success with Delays and Videos " Imagine that you are watching a movie. In a certain scene, two actors are having a conversation in a restaurant. In a series of shots you see one actor, then the other as each in turn talks. In one shot, there are red plates on the table. While you are watching this shot, you stop the VCR and go to another room to answer the telephone. The call is from your friend who has a brief question for you, and you talk on the phone for one minute. After hanging up the phone, you play the movie again and it starts on the next shot. In this shot, the plates are white instead of red. You did not expect this change beforehand."
