fun, but probably skewing the results measured. So these first few results were
eliminated from the final data pool – but kept for anticipated psychological studies
on the effects of sadism ... and the videos of this action kept to liven up scientist
parties.
Author one’s knuckles were whacked and tests continued.
During the actual Bluetooth transmission measurements, the power of the receiver
was kept constant through all trials, but the power provided to the transmitter was
gradually lowered over a 60 second period. During that 60 second period the
“quality” of the Bluetooth transmission was electronically measured. Notes were
taken as to the power level at the point the transmission began to break up, and
when it failed completely. The assumption being that the higher the Bluetooth
power at transmission failure, the more the subject’s body was blocking it. As a
side note, initial measurements of those expecting shocks definitely indicated
earlier blocking. Wink, wink.
As expected, through nearly 500 tests, the bodies of the subjects significantly
varied in their Bluetooth blocking force, both among the various subjects and
among each subject’s various tests. Reasons for this were not mined, though data
on each subject’s recent diet and activities, perceived stress level and amount of
sleep were collected, possibly for future studies. Political affiliations were not
recorded, though author one had his own theories on densities related to that.
With aspect (1) proven, we moved on to aspect (2).
(2) That this measured force of Bluetooth blocking is inversely proportional to
athletic performance when other variables have been eliminated:
The methodology for testing aspect (2) of our hypothesis involved the same
procedure for measuring Bluetooth blocking in volunteers. However, for this test,
each volunteer had previously registered a personal best for their favored athletic
endeavor among a timed 400 yard run, timed maximum reps weightlifting or timed
machine rowing. Ribbon dancing was suggested, but eliminated because
performance here is subjective.
Each volunteer was first measured for Bluetooth blocking, and then tested in an
attempt to improve their personal best at their favored exercise. All tests were
incentivized by offering volunteers a further discount on gym membership for
exceeding their previous personal bests. So many worked so hard for so little, but
in the name of science, to be sure.
As this was a test of the relationship of Bluetooth blocking to performance, each
volunteer was measured for Bluetooth blocking and then, within five minutes,
tested for their athletic performance, resulting in a B2P comparison for each
volunteer. Each volunteer did this once a day for four consecutive days. Tuesday
