NATAL'YA VOROTNIKOVA, Man in a Box
Natal'ya Vorotnikova has applied for the Challenge with all required documents and the claim that she will be able to identify a box containing a male who speaks Russian in a warehouse type setting.
According to Ms. Vorotnikova's Challenge claim, she will be able to identify a box (I am assuming coffin-like, though it must be painted a bright colour, like red) amongst many (like twenty) identical boxes if there is a Russian male inside. None of the other boxes can contain people, and the test should take place in a large room, like a warehouse. The major problems with the claim at this time are: That test would be unbelievably expensive AND The test is supposed to take place over a period of an hour, and I cannot imagine how to keep a boxed Russian man silent for that long. More soon! ~Remie |

Mrs. Vorotnikova has approved of a protocol that will use a school corridor lined with classroom doors.
Mrs. Vorotnikova has agreed that she will be able to identify which classroom contains a person, even without touching the doors or pausing at them while music is playing in the corridor. A preliminary protocol is being written with this in mind. |
