[bsfrqqib] Quantum oracle

Create a random number generator based on a quantum effect.  The generator should be constructed so its probability distribution is precisely known, for example, precisely 50-50 spin up or down.

Form a religion around it.  The point is, science cannot explain what the next random number will be (and perhaps by Bell's inequalities, science will never be able to), so might as well make it faith: you are hearing God in these "random" samples.

Anyone who can predict the outputs, or alter them away from the known probability distribution, is deemed a prophet.

Inspired by Randi's Million Dollar Prize, in case we need a really difficult test of paranormal ability, something that is definitely beyond science.
