Germany’s oracle octopus Paul has picked Spain as this year’s Worlc Cup champions.
Normally Paul only predicts the outcome of Germany’s games (and has accurately picked the outcome of all six of Germany’s World Cup matches so far,) but for the final Sea Life made an exception.
Paul makes his decision by choosing which container to eat from. He “got the choice of picking food from two different transparent containers lowered into his tank—one with a Dutch flag on it and one with Spain’s flag.” Apparently he was able to predict the outcome in minutes!
Two German television networks interrupted their programming for live coverage of the two-year-old celebrity octopus’s picks. Networks in Spain, the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe also broadcast Paul’s decision live.
