1. Actually, the Paul. To date, the German octopus is considered the most famous predictor. Arriving from England to the sea life Centre in Oberhausen German, invertebrate mollusk began brilliantly to guess the results of the games of Euro 2008, especially those involving the German team. Paul chose the winner by using feeders with the flags of the teams before the matches were put in his aquarium. Throughout his career Paul has become the Bane of the bookies, having made 14 predictions, of which only two were incorrect.

The Spaniards tried to buy the octopus-Oracle 30 000 euros, PETA insisted that Paul was released, and chefs from around the world wanted to cook from the predictor of the soup. However, Paul lived a long life and died a natural death in the “sea life Centre”. Since then, in honor of the octopus there is a monument, and the octopus was posthumously awarded the British award of the DAFTAS Awards in the category “the Most unusual story associated with the animal”.

Their forecasts Petrovich did of the Minsk center of Oceanography. The staff of the center was lowered into an aquarium crab washers with flags of the national teams which will play. His claws Petrovich dropped the puck at the bottom of the aquarium, and whose flag was the outside of the washer. This team was supposed to be the winner.
