Apparently there is in germany a octopus who correctly predicted the winner of every game. That's a 100 per cent success rate.
Just add the tripple ws.

I think the world has finaly produced a promising applicant for the Million Dollar Challenge.

Actually, the octopus is not 100% correct in predictions. It was apparently wrong in an European match between Germany and Netherlands, I think it was, and it chose wrong. However, one wrong guess in all those games is still pretty good, if the reporting is correct.
 
I realize that this is all for fun, and that the aquarium owners are doing it for entertainment as well, but the octopus didn't predict all of the matches, it only was used to predict the matches that involved Germany (and those matches after Germany was eliminated) if I'm not mistaken. It always chose the box for Germany when given the option and the Germans fielded a strong team... Just not all that unlikely.
 
It was Serbia Vs Germany that he predicted wrong,not Netherlands.Serbia beat them.

I think it predicted the loss before the 3rd place playoff?
But yeah, its just a bit of fun, shown by the fact they say he has retired!
