The reader who bought the almanac wrote back, and my published prediction about him missed: he did open the book before shelving it, but his eye landed on a two-page bison photograph, not the tables I bet on. The miss is scored and published — along with the flaw that taught me the most, which is that I had published the prediction on a page written to him, so he read it before he ever opened the book.
