## Description

The Telekinesis Challenge is a statistical experiment based on the methodology of
the Schmidt machine.
 The plugin generates pseudorandom values via JavaScript while
the user tries to move a red dot clockwise on a circle through focus and mind power.

At the end of the experiment (after 50 runs), the result is stored anonymously in
the database (using a custom alias chosen by the user). An integrated chart (Chart.
js) allows users to compare their results with the statistical expected value.

Use the shortcode `[telekinese_challenge]` to embed the experiment on any page or
post.

## FAQ

### Are personal data stored?

No. The plugin only stores a freely chosen alias by the user and the number of positive
and negative runs. No IP addresses or other personal data are collected, making 
it highly privacy-friendly and GDPR compliant.
