$10,000 Challenge

Since I am the liar Ray was referring to in his filibuster at the Pittsburgh Whine Festival, I issue Ray a $10,000 challenge. We will both go to a certified lie detection firm to determine who is lying and who is telling the truth. Is Ray 100% certain his version of events is totally accurate? It's funny that at the time he and Joe Russell were arguing, he stated that he was not 100% certain that he did not roll twice in succession. In order to reinforce the validity of the lie detector test, Joe Russell and Norm Wiggins should also be required to take the test. If one person has a 5% chance to fool a lie detector test, it is almost impossible for 4 people to do so.
By the way, the ability to count cards has absolutely nothing to do with short term memory. I could tell you what the count is in a 6 deck shoe in my sleep. However, I probably would have trouble telling you what cards were dealt the previous hand. My ability to memorize matrix numbers needed to adjust basic strategy based on the count was the result of hundreds of hours of rigorous memorization drills using flash cards (this was in the pre-PC era). Repetition does wonders for long-term memory.
