5 possible psychic successors to "Paul the Octopus", the World Cup predictor

#6 A tribute to the late octopus, Paul

As you wind back your memories to the 2010 edition, you will definitely be reminded of the Octopus that predicted the results of World Cup matches.

Living in a tank in a Sea Life Centre in Germany, Paul was presented with two boxes containing food, each marked with the flag of a national team competing in a match. He was then allowed to choose the box which would be the team that would win.

After a successfull predicting career with an accuracy rate of 85%, Paul died in October 2010.
