These five photographs (below) are the results from an experiment performed November 26 at Imperial College London. 2006 Ig Nobel Mathematics Prize co-winner Piers Barnes was a featured lecturer at the evening’s special Improbable Research event. Dr. Barnes described his Ig-winning research — the calculation of how many photos one must take of a group of people to (almost) ensure having a photo in which no one blinks.
Immediately after the event, Dr. Barnes (in these photos he is the man with both glasses and dreadlocks) and eleven audience members gathered for a series of five photos. We leave it to you to evaluate these results.
