Ask Peter Answers Peters Answers: Evil Spirit or Scary Prank?

How Peter Answers works like magic


Like an evil spirit, Peter Answers swept into my room and magically hypnotized over half the kids. I tried shouting. I tried clapping. I tried cold water. But nothing I did helped. Peter Answers (Peteranswers.com) kung-fu was too strong.

Its magic was hypnotic.

“NO WAY!! How did it know that?”

“Ask Peter who is standing behind you!”

“THAT IS FREAKY!!!”

“Ask Peter what the name of my dog is!”

“PETER ANSWERS IT RIGHT EVERY TIME!!!”

(whispered) “Ask it who is in love with Nicki.”

No, I was pretty sure this was not what I assigned. Sometimes a little distraction is a good thing. It helps to break up the day a bit. Keep things fresh. But this was like a virus. A nasty one. And it was spreading rapidly.

Peteranswers.com: The Peter Answers Computer Prank

Peter Answers: Special Report

What is it?

The Peter Answers (or peteranswers.com) Computer Prank is a magical virus, pure and simple. It’s spread from host to host through word of mouth and has an incubation period limited only to a carrier’s access to a computer with internet connection.

How is it spread?

It all starts with an initial carrier–some individual who knows the secret trick to this hypnotic prank. It works like magic, and if you knows it, you most definitely have the power–hypnotic power, psychic power. Once you know the magic, all you need to do is simply hop on a computer, zip to the Internet and go to peteranswers.com.

Once at the site, all you have to do to memorize your audience, is draw attention to the idea that there’s an entity within the Internet that can answer all of your questions. Kind of like a Ouiga board but with dead on accuracy. What happens next, is what reminds me of a David Blaine trick. Because it’s pure magic.

Pure genius.

In the first box, the keyboardist types in the petition:

Peter, please answer the following:”

In the second box the typist enters whatever question they’d like–usually from the growing crowd.

What is Jesse’s middle name?

Upon hitting the return button, Peter, from his comfortable couch at peteranswers.com, instantly answers the question. Correctly.

(GASP!)

Peter Answers My Question: How does peteranswers.com work? Subtle Mind Control.

Like I said, I’d already lost over half the room. Even if I’d ordered all computers shut down, they’d still be thinking about how to do the magic trick for the rest of the day. I’m not kidding. Peteranswers.com had a firm hold of these kid’s minds, and it wasn’t letting go any time soon. So I figured I might as well do a little research.

With Google’s help, it didn’t take me long to figure it out. And once I did, I knew peteranswers.com had met it’s match. As with any infectious illusion, the best way to vaccinate is to simply reveal the magic trick.

There’s really nothing like a quick injection of the truth. Sure, the David Blaine impostors will be furious at having their trick exposed. But any short term disruption they may cause is nothing compared to the long term, manic-obsessive behavior that are symptoms of the Peter Answers Computer Prank virus itself.

Peteranswers.com: The Magic Tricks Revealed


First, instead of typing in the petition box, “Peter, please answer the . . .” begin by instead typing:

“.”

That’s right. Simply type a period. What happens next is pure magical genius.

Instead of seeing what you’d expect (a “.”) you see a “P”. Then type whatever the heck you want and the rest of the phrase “Peter, please answer the following” appears.

As long as nobody pays any attention to where your fingers are actually landing the prank works slick.

The trick to the prank is to here type in the answer to whatever question you are going to ask next. When you’re done just keep typing until the phrase is complete. Whenever you hit the “:” your cursor will jump to the next box–where you’ll type in the actual question.

Hit return and bingo! Whatever you really typed into the petition box appears.

peteranswers.com and peter answers for advanced users

Once you get the hang of how peteranswers.com works, it won’t be long before you run into a little snag. The problem is, sometimes your answer is much shorter (has fewer characters to type) than the 41 keystrokes it takes to type “peter please answer the following question”:

There are actually three ways to solve this problem:

  1. Type another “.” When you do this, the program opens back up and shows exactly what you are typing again. For example, if your “answer” was “Lisa.” That’s only 4 keystrokes, which would take you to “Pete” in the petition. Just type another “.” after the last letter of your answer. Now you’ll have “Peter” and from now on you can continue typing the rest of the petition, “please answer the following question:”
  2. Another option is to fake it until you get to “Peter, please answer.” You don’t have to keep punching keys until the entire long petition is filled out. Just remember to type the “:” when you’re done.
  3. The final way to make this work is to simply play dumb. Pretend you lost control of your fingers and type a “:” when you’re done. As soon as you type the “:” you’ll skip to the next box. Just say “oops” or something and keep going.

So there, my dear friends. The truth has set you free. Once the mystery of peteranswers.com is solved, the novelty wears off pretty quickly doesn’t it?

And if you’re a school teacher, it’s really fun to watch two things:

1) The air escaping from the Peter Answers carriers as they lose their power, and

2) The enlightenment of one who only recently had been losing their minds in a state of confused awe.

What? Still don’t get it? Well how about this? What follows is the absolute best of the best . A complete collection of the best Peter Answers tutorials available on the web. Can’t do much better than that can we?

To start off here, first I present to you a YouTube Peter Answers video shot by a kid. The video itself is terrible, but I love the kids accent and language. It’s only about 3 minutes long so go check it out.

Not good enough? Boy tough crowd. Ok. Try this next link on for size. WikiHow has the absolute best explanation on the web about how to do Peter Answers, and how Peter Answers really works.

Alright, surly you get it now right? No? Fine. More of a visual learner. Great. Check out this next YouTube video and I promise without a doubt you will be working Peter Answers like a wizard. This Peter Answers Video Tutorial, unlike the one above is short, sweet, and very excellent. This guy does a perfect job explaining this trick.

Now stop dilly dallying and get on over to the real Peter Answers web site and have some fun!

UPDATE 8/7/07: Apparently Peter isn’t the only tarot prankster anymore. Jud is now officially the new kid on the block.

    i alreasy knew about the website and how to use it, but i wanted to know if the answer is online..my friends are calapsing on the ground with confusion. I dictate their future….its mean yeah sure…but i give them a good future.

    What we have here folks is a typical carrier, though I’m not sure how convincing an online spirit he makes with spelling like that–unless his buddies are equally illiterate that is. . . yikes. Now that’s scary!

    Hey Addy, send me your teacher’s email as well. I think he/she might need this vaccination pronto-puff. ;-) Chris

  • 3 Jordan Mings // Feb 23, 2007 at 5:39 pm

    I read what you write and it left me speachless. All my friends today were on the sight and it would only answer two girls in my class answers. I don’t believe it is god because it was kind of rude to me. It told me it would only answer my question when Emily’s sole was around. Please E-mail me if you’d like to answer any of my questions. Thank you!

    Better yet–how ’bout you give me your teacher’s email. Sounds like he/she is having the same problem I was.

    It freaked me out this peter thing, excellent work teacher!!

    Thanks Nanyaar. This post really does seem to have touched a nerve. Sure is fun to shed a little light once in awhile. Part of it is a little sad though–like when you learn how a magic trick really works.

    Maybe the world would be better if there was more magic. More mystery.

    Just not when I’m trying to teach. :)

    This sounds good. As a teacher myself I think I could make use of this! (-:

  • 11 justine // Feb 26, 2007 at 8:56 pm

    Two questions: one, does there have to be more than one person to make it work? like, will it never answer your questions correctly if it is just you? second, When you type in your answer, wouldn’t the rest of the phrase show up in the answer? For example, if you typed the answer “Travis,” you would hve to finish the phrase, right? so wouldn’t the finished phrase turn up?

    Certainly it will answer your questions if it’s just you–as long as you type the correct answers in the petition. No, the rest of the phrase does not show up in the answer.

    Just try it for yourself. You’ll figure it out.

    Thanks, I enjoyed freaking my kids out with this. They are 9, 10, and 11. They finally asked Peter “How do you know all this stuff?” and Peter had to answer “ask your mother, she is evil”

    It was a great lesson for them to learn about how things are not always as it seems. Thanks again!

    Thanks for that comment. I always love to hear when we, as adults, can gain the upper hand and torture the kids for a change. And it sounds like you even turned it into a nice little lesson. Perfect!

    You must be an awesome mom.

    Thanks for visiting and taking the time to share.

  • 14 Twan // Feb 27, 2007 at 4:10 pm

    I think it would have been really fun to use Peter Answers during your class. Maybe you could have used the “infection” for your own means. Sure, the “carriers” wouldn’t have been as into it, but it might have worked wonders.

    I was duped at work today, so I was glad to see your website and see what was really going on. It amazes me how quickly we are conned into something so silly.

    Yeah, it would have been nice to turn the tables somehow. I’ll keep it in mind. Maybe I can do something next year.

    Glad I could help you out. It would suck to get conned at work two days in a row.

    Thanks for stopping

    Cool! Like a hightech version of the old chaoots party game, or better yet, try this. In a group that knows there is no joke, with at least one person not in the loop deliver the following then laugh like its the funnies thing you ever heard: Two oranges are in the shower when the first one says, Pass me the soap, to which the second one replies, what do I look like, a typewriter? Not knowing what you teach I wonder if there isn’t some way you could work this in as an object lesson in the power of persuasion? Anyway, good job on the inooculation, Doc! I’m sure the medical journals will be beating a path to your desk on this one in short order!

    Thanks Mark

    You just ruined everything.. now I realize that you are trying to teach.. but if you were a GOOD teacher, you would’ve set some ground rules and told the class that they couldn’t be on the computer. Many people got me with it.. but it’s fun just to do something other than just LEARN plus I guess if you think about it, you are learning something by this site. Why do some people like to ruin all of the fun?

    Don’t you know that, as teachers, it is our JOB to ruin fun? Yep, that’s why we get paid the big bucks. Nobody else wants to do it.

    Ground rules? What are those? :)

  • 19 Anne // Feb 28, 2007 at 9:05 pm

    Hi! I loved your post… I was just looking up the secret to Peter Answers on the internet and I found your explaination…. I also love the rest of your site! You sound like an awesome teacher…. firm but enthusiastic and funny. I enjoy reading your smart sense of humor and your ideas. Thanks. (oh, and by the way…. all those nasty comments about “butthead teachers” and “fun-ruiners”….. students just want to get back at all teachers in general… I’m pretty sure it’s nothing personal)

    Hi Anne,

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Hah! In order to survive, the first thing a teacher has to learn in the trenches is instant forgiveness. Once you feel irritation (forget about anger) it’s too late. You’ve lost. Your judgement gets clouded and you may not make the right decision.

    Gotta be able to think on your feet you know? Can’t do that if you take every little thing (or big thing for that matter) personally.

    Nowhere is this advice more appropriate, “Forgive them for they know not what they (do/say).”

    Anyway, thanks for stopping!

    I already know the secret,but oh my gosh it is so fun to tell your friends who don’t know they get so scared. this website is truly genius i love it. The website is cool but i too noticed that everyone is always talking about it , it is so funny how the people who don’t know are always talking about it and are so scared. It kind of takes away the fun when people find out the truth to peter answer because they won’t be so freaked out any more.
    Peace out , later

    Good clean fun, right Mary?

    Thank you for this infromation. My class has been using this website to have Peter answer “Who is the dumbest person in the room?” and other insults about yours truly. I now have the proof that my rowdy students are doing this on purpose to insult me and to disrupt my class. Once again, thank you.

    I had no idea how this thing worked until now, and for that I must thank you. I found pleasure in personally exploiting this “magic machine” in front of my class. Although I was hated amongst many of the girls, harmony was soon restored. Thank you for revealing the secret of this very distracting machine.

    -Mr. Locke (a fellow teacher)

    Your welcome Mr. Locke. Glad you could have a little fun with it.

    wow this thing is freaky. my friend did it to me in school and my two other friends burst out in hysterical laughs as i started shaking because the magical “Peter” had answered my question correctly. the rest of the class looked in our direction and ran over to see what was going on. my teacher soon got fed up with us, not knowing what we were doing, and my friend never revealed the secret, but now i know ;-) thanks for a good practical joke!

I didn’t know what to think at all! I read “Spiritual Tarot” and I was like no way does it know this stuff just by him typing.. anyway, VERY well done.

I just do not think that it is necessary to post this kind of thing on the web. Does it matter if people know? No. But does it ruin the fun. Yes. I find it in a way dispicable to do this.

    Thank you for clearing this up. My high schooler came home telling me about this site and how it had given specific answers to questions a friend was giving it about her. Trying it at home, of course, it wouldn’t answer anything because of the “dark thoughts” (that would be me!) I googled it and found your site. Some have chastized you for positng the secret–I think you are doing a great service for parents and teachers alike. Thank you so much.

    No, not really. Actually, it’s a brilliant piece of social engineering. All the programmer had to do (after writing the program, which isn’t really that tricky to do) was to tell just ONE single kid about it, and BLAMMM!, an exponentially growing source of Google ad impressions. And since adults and high school students are having fun with this also, I’m sure there are even some legitimate click-throughs.

  • 35 rikki // Mar 9, 2007 at 10:13 pm

    i came home from work today and my son and his friend were on the computer at the ask peter site. they were so excited asking questions, but only peter liked my son and answered only his questions right. his friend and i were trying forever to get peter to answer us and convince him that we were believers. then i actually called one of my friends and told her she had to come over and see this, and that it was incredible. so she came over and we were all asking questions, even had 2 computers going at the same time, but of course the “spirit” only felt that my son was the only real believer. we were obsessed with getting peter to like us and answer us so we were all trying for several hours! and we were bombarding my son with questions to ask peter because we thought peter thought he was the strongest believer. even after my friend left and my son left to go to his friends house, i continued to try to get peter to like me and see me as a believer, but no luck. after a while my son came back home just laughing and telling me that it was a joke and then showed me the trick. all i can say is this is fun! next time my friend comes over again i’ll go back on that site and tell her that now peter sees me as a believer and will answer my questions and then after she keeps trying i will finally tell her the joke. she’ll be upset first, but then just crack up. i can’t wait!

    Hi Tom,

    Um . . .what’s wrong with short and to the point? I like short and to the point. Especially in the blogsphere. If I were to meet someone on the street and they were short and to the point, I’d like them very much.

    It’s an interesting comment because people who know me think I’m anything but “chatty.”

  • 38 Mae // Mar 11, 2007 at 4:55 pm

    Whenever I visit the ‘Peter Answers’ site and type whatever i want in the petition box, it shows up in the petition box, not ‘peter, please answer the following question:’…Am I missing something?

    None of the questions I ask have a correct answer, the ‘Peter’ site just evades the questions with stupid phrases such as ‘I will answer the question later’ even when I type in completely nonsensical things!

    What’s up with it?

    Mae,
    The first thing you have to type in the petition box is a period. A dot. That thing at the end of every sentence.
    That is the indication that you are one of the privileged. It is the password, the secret the signal for the program to begin covert operations.

  • 41 Brandon // Mar 13, 2007 at 6:39 pm

    Ok, so that you don’t have to keep typing in nonsense after your answer, just hit another “.” at the end of your answer you type into the petition, then so you have one at the begining and one at the end of the secret answer you type, other wise you have to hit space bar a trillion times. So when you do this, as soon as you hit the second period, it then becomes accessible again to whatever you want to type, like you could type “Peter, please answer:” if your answer is short and then you wont end up typing “Peter, please answer the following question:”. Hope this helps some!

    My wife came home from work last night scared out of her wits! Being the keen, logical, computer scientist that I am, I first tried the site before taking the wind from her sails; however, I was mildly anxious due to how freaked out she was. After several tries and no real results and her now confused, I decided to do a google search before I would “view source” and hunt down the code. Yay for Google. Yay for you. My wife feels much better (but, soon, my friends wont….muwahahaha). PS: After reading through the posts here (yes, I can get that bored), I am astonished at the poor level of grammar and spelling with today’s youth. I thought that I was bad. As a teacher, what do you do to help bring your students grammar skills in check? I apologize for not going through the rest of your site if you have an answer elsewhere.

  • 45 Mable // Mar 30, 2007 at 4:58 am

    I can relate to you seeing as just today the same thing happened at my class! Basically Me, Lola and Katherine all knew the peteranswers secret and because the website was not blocked we went onto it in our I.T lesson. The class went wild! But when they tried it it didn’t work and they all started saying it was fake. But yet I showed it to them again and it got a question correct. So they did not know what to believe! But our teacher was so annoyed! I would appriciate it if you deleted this website because.. well lets face it.. it ruins all the fun!

    someone in my math class told me about peter answers and i couldnt wait to sneek onto the computer (as i am currently grounded) to check what the hype was all about.

    now take into consideration that i get very easily scared, and at this point i have no clue what the secret was and i didnt know there was one. so when “peter” answered : my soul will rest under your bed tonight. i FLIPPED out. i exited so fast it was crazy. i thought i had just made a badddd choice and got freaked out when i had to go to bed. lol. im such a whimp but i was honestly creeped right out!!!

    now that i know the trick im going to use it wherever i can! this is well cool and well worth keeping to myself. haha.

    thanks again tech!

    eh-ch.

    the site really tricked me and i have to say great job!! i finally found out the secret of it and i was like oh mann.. but you gotta find out sometime. i’m going to trick my family with it! good work, i’ll have fun with it!

  • 51 Ryan // Apr 5, 2007 at 1:16 am

    I’ve figured out how to do this but I was wondering if there was another way to fool people like this because I watched my friend type and she didn’t cheat like it’s explained but she did have someone else load up the site for her. I was just wondering if there was a virus or something that would allow you to type answers from another computer? I may just be completely wrong though…

  • 52 Mitchell // Apr 5, 2007 at 9:16 pm

    My friends had me fooled with this for the longest time. i, being paranoid already fell for it and belived them. thanks for telling me the trick so now i can use it on my siblings!

    Thanks,
    Mitchell

  • 53 Taylor // Apr 5, 2007 at 10:41 pm

    lol… you ruined everyone’s fun! Oh well in class it really is more important to actually have class. You were doing your duty.

  • 54 Bobbi // Apr 6, 2007 at 2:06 pm

    How about this scenario? For 2 hours myself and my husband were ‘fooled’ into believing that my husbands deceased father was talking to us. Skeptical, but pop-pop kept answering our questions with the answers only he could know about our family.
    Our son confessed the next morning and feels terrible about the deception. This may seem like a harmless ‘trick’, but my husband was devastated. He BELIEVED he was speaking to his father.

    Bobbi,
    Wow. Thank you for your comment. And I was thinking, for the most part, Peter Answers was just a harmless little prank. This scenario paints a different picture.
    Thanks for sharing Bobbi.

  • 57 Khadija // Apr 8, 2007 at 12:57 am

    sometimes i ask a question and it says someone is waiting for you outside and i get scared and it also says that in a moment i will tell you you secret that you were not expecting….. you will be suprised and i always type in please tell me my secret that i was not expecting.

  • 58 lilysta // Apr 8, 2007 at 5:14 am

    dude i was scared out of my mind but later i figured it out on youtube, but OMG this Peter Answers thing is real cool because once you find out the secret and pretend you do not know still the next time, a good way to turn the tables around is to ask questions you would like to hear your friends who think they got you answer them, and find out what they really think about you, or what they acctualy do not know about you, but man some people can be brutal in their answers lol, but it’s all good fun and in the process of figuring it out fills you with this enlightenment like youve uncovered something remarkable.

  • 59 Teresa // Apr 8, 2007 at 8:19 am

    Thank you for enlightening us all (whether we liked it or not!), I would have been up all night wondering if someone’s soul was really resting under my bed (chuckle-chuckle). Well, my campus has a block on just about everything so my students have not contracted the PACP virus. We have state testing this coming week so I might override the block and have a little fun with my 9th graders! Thanks for the heads-up. Oh, and I totally had my sister and my son scared out of their wits! Nice!

    Best~

  • 66 *DZ* // Apr 9, 2007 at 5:20 am

    Good evening Chris:

    My friends and I once wrote an AI program back in High School on a *cough, cough* Apple II+…now I’m a wildlife biologist and didn’t go into computers (yeah, like what a mistake, I love my job but am dirt poor and underappreciated LOL)…I saw what this “peteranswers” thingie was pretty darned quick, but you gotta admit…smooooth…thanks for confirming what I thought…

    Also, you do seem like a really cool teacher, where in the hell were you when *I* was in High School? I got stuck with some nutjob teaching advanced math so I dropped it in favor of Home Ec which I used as a study hall for Physics…

    Best of luck to ya’ and keep up the great work!

    *DZ*

    Thanks DZ . . . for this and the writeup in your blog.
    Chris

  • 67 Tinkerbell // Apr 9, 2007 at 2:12 pm

    Don’t you have to put a period after the answer too? Also, Iknow that if you’re bored of typing,
    you do this: .answer………..
    after you do period answer period then you keep doing period. It’ll type it for you. But, if you REALLY wanna trick your friends, I suggest you keep typing.

  • 68 Chesterb // Apr 11, 2007 at 12:45 am

    Dude lawl.. i knew right away when my friend told me about it that it was fake. I use rattional thinking over being conned. I’m not that shallow to believe an internet program. So being he told me earlyer today during school, i got home and googled it before i even touched the sight cuz i know that the internet can’t do something like that. I kinda figured hey computers = programming, it couldda been a simple program, and hey i was right.

  • 69 Chesterb // Apr 11, 2007 at 12:46 am

    oh and what program do u need to run it, is it flashplayer or something like that that makes it load cuz my home computer won’t load it i juss get error on website when i go to www.peteranswers.com

  • 70 Emily // Apr 11, 2007 at 6:46 pm

    why did it have to chose MY name to only work when “emily’s soul was around”… talk about creepy. thats half the reason i fell for it and all of my friends did. so glad you posted this. i mean i never believed it, i knew there had to be some catch. My sister and close friends on the other hand have been going crazy thinking its real…pathetic. thanks again.

  • 71 Bob // Apr 11, 2007 at 9:16 pm

    OMG thanks, I went on all day saying that this site was so cool and if used in the “right” ways it could help out with homework and other menial tasks. Now I know that I’ve made a fool of myself in front of all the people that already knew the trick. Thank you so much (my mom also thought that it was illegal somehow and people were watching us lol).

  • 72 Gabi // Apr 12, 2007 at 1:07 am

    Thank you so much. My brother was tricking me with this. I was seriously going to ask a girl out that I liked, because “Peter” said that she liked me too. lol. :)

  • 74 Twig // Apr 12, 2007 at 5:05 am

    Hey Chris!

    This is awesome! I didn’t know this before, but it’s still hilarious to see people with their jaws on the floor. Well, now I guess I can pick up MY jaw off the floor and smile. Actually, just yesterday, I swear I caught my friend typing the “L” key when it showed up as “A.”
    Thanks for revealing it to me, anyways. I know this trick is going to keep on going…as long as I’m passing it.

OR IF IT ANSWERS THE RIGHT QUESTION IM RUNNING. My family is so scared right now. They think its demonic.They think cameras are set up but im just there laughin my head off..this is so great…..

  • 79 Tim // Apr 20, 2007 at 7:51 am

    I work for a certain Bank in America (*wink*) in the Online Banking Dept… So we are pretty good with this thing they call the internet. Anyhow, one girl brought peteranswers.com to us and in two days EVERYBODY was floored and only about 5 of us really knew the secret until day three when one girl was freaking out and talking about a demon running the website. I tell you, it was the funniest thing I have seen in ages. I never had such a good laugh. But why did you tell our secret! I had my BF freaked out all morning til he read your exposé! Oh, well… It was fun while it lasted!

  • 80 fooled19 // Apr 23, 2007 at 5:18 pm

    OMG then that means my bf tricked me and i got fooled! i couldnt believe this…when i read ur blog today..i went around my house screaming “HE TRICKED ME!!! HE TRICKED ME I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!” laughing at such a fool i was. Do u know how many sleepless nights i had because of this stupid website? I even asked him (my bf) to go to the bathroom with me because of how scared i was! SEE! people can’t even do their own business in peace because of such a baaaaddd prank :p ..and worried of an “Emily” standing by my bed as i slept (grrrr) i fell for it so badly..but my bf is such a good actor, he was shaking and his facial expressions-he shud get an oscar…

    it took me a while to get a hang of how to do the trick with the whole typing in the answer in the petition..but just a bit of practice and i can fool all my friends (evil laugh)

    …i sat there for days thinking..hmm maybe theres a freaky person on the other side that can see us with an invisible camera and can sumhow hear us…

    thank you so much,but i’m still freaked out by “Emily”..yes sadly other people will google this and the prank will be ruined..”all good things must come to an end”

    I really enjoyed reading ur blogs,i’ll continue reading them :) keep up the good work,u sound like a really nice and cool teacher!

    Excuse me while i go call my boyfriend and scream endlessly on the fone to him that i found out about his little prank!

    peace guys :)

  • 81 Tracy // Apr 26, 2007 at 9:50 am

    You have just made my day! I spent a good part of yesterday trying to convince my student’st that this Peter stuff was just silliness. Unfortunately when I asked it a question he responded that his soul would be under my bed at night…which of course just set my kids off worse, now not only were theyworried about dying tomorrow (or whatever crazy question they asked) but that their teacher might not make it either! EEK!!

  • 82 Tiffany // Apr 26, 2007 at 6:49 pm

    Thanks for this post! I am a teacher myself and I actually turned this whole thing into a lesson. I “tricked” all of my classes and then told them I would give them a free 100 if they could come up with how it worked. Later we talked about observation skills, not believing everything you see, and research skills to find answers to things you don’t understand. anyone who can do a little research can figure out how this works. anyway, it was an awesome lesson about using your noggin. I told them to really, really think about all the possibilties of how it could work. Their solutions were pretty creative and some down right laughable! I enjoyed my “power” and had a little fun with the carriers in the room that already knew how it worked.

    I love to hear when teachers do stuff like this. If I’m lucky, this will die down and I’ll be able to do the same sort of thing next year. I really love the way you blended this into a powerful lesson about critical thinking.

    Great Job! And thank you so much for sharing!

    Chris

  • 83 Jackie Reid // Apr 26, 2007 at 10:28 pm

    Thanks a million, my daughter came home from school raving about this, when she tried it herself it wouldn’t work, then told her it’s soul would be under her bed tonight! She wouldn’t believe it was a hoax and slept in with her sister.
    Question is do I tell her OR does peter say she does her homework and has an early night :0)
    Not really, will tell her first thing.
    Excellent website.
    Best wishes from the UK
    Jackie

    Thanks Jackie,

    Glad you stopped by. Hope to see you around.

  • 84 AB // Apr 26, 2007 at 10:30 pm

    Had a blast with this site today. I’m a teacher, and two of my students had the entire class, including me, marveling at Peter’s omniscience. When I was finally clued into the trick with help from a colleague’s Google search and your blog, I used the site to boggle the minds of students in another class later on today. Looking forward to amazing my husband with it tonight.

    Great work AB

  • 85 Julez // Apr 27, 2007 at 8:12 pm

    Today, “Peter” was among us, and things were especially hilarious. I was not controlling Peter, but I was not fooled either, unlike the rest of my friends in my Friday Fun Class. (Don’t worry, we weren’t supposed to be doing anything, it was Theater. Only an hour long.) My friend was controlling it, and it was hilarious to see how many people it fooled. What was more hilarious was that your website came up second when you googled “peter answers” and, even though the website kept referring back to the google page, nobody paid any attention and continued to be amazed. Finally my friend told me, and the two of us are going to be having a lot of fun NEXT Friday to see what happens.

  • 86 Tof // May 7, 2007 at 9:23 am

    I am also a teacher and in class today two girls were using this to freak out a guy. He went to the site and asked a question. Peter told him he had a surprise for him in the bathroom. The student went to the toilet block and as he entered the toilets he saw another student slip up and fall in the urinal. When he returned and told us we were rolling on the floor laughing hysterically. This pure coincidence backed up the girls story.

  • 87 Marcee // May 17, 2007 at 1:20 pm

    I’m a substitute teacher and the kids got me with this yesterday. The whole class was mesmerized and there was quite a stir. I hate to admit it, but I was under its spell as well and it was hard to distinguish between the kids and the adult:) At least we let off some steam.

  • 88 sam // May 29, 2007 at 6:55 pm

    OMG i am soooooo glad i foud your article!!!
    i had my mom sleep with me because peter said he was going to rest under my bed last night! right after my cousins had finished pranking me with peteranswers.com!!! thanks to you i now know the secret and wont be scared or creeped out whenever i go to the bathroom or my bedroom! (or even think about emily) lol

    Seth A. // Mar 29, 2007 at 2:52 pm

    My wife came home from work last night scared out of her wits! Being the keen, logical, computer scientist that I am, I first tried the site before taking the wind from her sails; however, I was mildly anxious due to how freaked out she was. After several tries and no real results and her now confused, I decided to do a google search before I would “view source” and hunt down the code. Yay for Google. Yay for you. My wife feels much better (but, soon, my friends wont….muwahahaha). PS: After reading through the posts here (yes, I can get that bored), I am astonished at the poor level of grammar and spelling with today’s youth. I thought that I was bad. As a teacher, what do you do to help bring your students grammar skills in check? I apologize for not going through the rest of your site if you have an answer elsewhere.

    so wat if we dont use gramar. itz not lik werre riting a reserch paper or somtin. on da net, grmmer is not important bcause itz not formel. Plus, your such a jerk for posting this on the web. Its just harmless fun, and you spoiled it. In example, some of the people on this website said things like “Thank you. No, your not ruining it!” and then those same people said “But I’m using this on my friends”. THEY wouldnt want the secret to be known, and neither do we. Plus, you think your so “Supiorior”. Talk about ego. Dont bother emailing me, its under a false name and i dont use the account.

    Thank you for posting this info! I was up with my daughter until 1:30 AM yesterday. She was crying from being scared and could not sleep. It really can be used as an aweful tool to scare kids, especially my almost teeanage girl. I did leave her teacher a message letting her know about the situation. I will leave her another message to go check out your site. Thank you again for letting us get some sleep tonight!!! You must be an awesome teacher! :) Jenny

  • 92 josi // Jun 16, 2007 at 6:33 pm

    I was at a friends house and only this one girl knew about the website and the trick. We were like 13 girls. So it was 3 am in the morning and that friends had us crowd around her while she asked questions. we stopped doing it after we had asked peter how he knew all of this and he just answered “lok out the window” it got us so freaked out tha twe screamed! It was also really scary since it was the middle of the night and we were in the basement. We just ran away from the computer and huddled together all shivering. Until the girl told us the trick because some of us were so scared they wanted to go home! she had to tell us or else somebody would call the police.

    At the start peter was jus answering ‘you are not believing’ etc. But then he said that he would not answer until Emily’s sole was around. But the name Emily has a close connection to a passed family member who died at birth. Is this real? Or is Emily just a programmed name in petersanswers? please reply. Thanks :D

    my friend and I both didn’t know how this website worked and we asked it questions like ‘what is the symbol on my brothers shirt?’ and it answered correctly saying ‘a nirvana symbol’.

    Chris, you’re a life-saver! Thank you so much for revealing the secret to peteranswers.com. A student of mine had shown me this site during a class, and I have been struggling with figuring it out ever since. It may sound childish, but I can’t wait to try this out on my family and friends! :)

    Peteranswers really scared my mother because it knows her favorite actress, the brand of clothes she was wearing etc. My mother believed in God so she thought it was work of the devil. After that she tried it herself, peter answered something like dark thoughts interfere. She got scared and stopped doing it. Later that night I told her the secret because she was so scared, she even told me she asked forgiveness to God for talking with the devil. Heheheh.

    I typed in the Peter Answers website into the address bar. I felt a sudden urge to click Go, and felt a cold hand touch my shoulder. A shudder ran throughout my body, like a current… TO BE CONTINUED (or not)… Now, this Peter Answers thing rules! I almost scared the life out of my sister using this tool. Thank you for creating it, whoever did do so…

  • 131 Kathryn // Sep 29, 2007 at 6:27 pm

    Oh!… thats how it works! My friend showed me the website, but I had no clue how it answered ALL of the questions correctly. ( But I had a hint because she kept on asking “who really is” and stuff like that when we asked questions we were sure she didnt know the answer to). Well, thanks for clairifying the secret, the idea of someone actully answering the questions really freaked me out ;)

  • 132 ..Peter.. // Oct 4, 2007 at 1:27 pm

    Thank you for this post. My daughter was freeked out about Peter and how he was always right. I tried to tell her it was a program but she still didn’t want to see it because he was always right. Now, I can explain to her why Peter was always right and use it as a lesson for her to keep asking why and searching for answers.
    By the way, Peter told her that she has a secret and he knew it. The secret was that she was gay. That messed with her because all her friends were around her and of course since Peter was always right and kids can be mean it was not fun for her. Now, she can blow that out of the water.

    Thanks, again.

    Your welcome Tracy,

    It continues to amaze me how far reaching this thing has become. I’m glad you were able to debunk the mystery quickly and I hope your daughter can now have a little fun busting the pranksters.

    Chris

    Hahah wow, my friends got me and a bunch of other people for two days straight now. Me and my little sis were both really freaking out, because my friends were jerks and saying creepy things on it. My little sis nearly had a panic attack. But my boyfriend kinda figured it out so I went searching for an answer and found your lovely little site. Thanks so much, I’m going to have a ton of fun scaring my little sis tonight. Till she figures it out too. XD

  • 139 Kelly // Nov 12, 2007 at 6:37 pm

    I am also a teacher and was caught by this today! It is so true the whole class was freaking out, the thing that tipped it off a bit for me was that the student who was pranking made the one girl’s fortune sound an awful lot like the sarcastic comments that he would say. I’m going to get him tomorrow. THanks you so much!!!!

  • 140 PAULY C // Nov 14, 2007 at 2:44 pm

    top, this “psychic” has just fooled a staffroom full of teachers, nevermind their kids. they were all convinced it was for real, me being a cynic dug around and found the truth, i may not burst their bubble and just shape their destiny, including the hoaxer herself, either she owns up or plays along with my questions…
    moral dilemma, i think so

    Informative, although it seems a tad self-righteous in presentation. The smug satisfaction should be tempered by the fact that you didn’t take the time to experiment and discover the way the trick worked yourself, but google’d it instead. Why not, instead of stamping this evil, vile, spiteful blotch on humanity out with the wondrous truth you found after a few minutes online(that sounds meaner than I mean it), spend time with the kids and run experiments to discover the answer? Especially if you already know it and can help them design the right ‘experiments’ to figure it out. If they’re going to be thinking about it and WANT to know the answer, why not teach them how to use their minds to figure it out, so the NEXT time they have a question, they can practice learning outside a textbook? Perhaps I’m being impractical as I’m not an educator, but isn’t that one of teaching’s primary goals?

  • 144 Chris // Dec 3, 2007 at 1:07 pm

    Haha. One of my friends was getting everyone with this. I had it figured out by the 5th answer. All it takes is a bit of rationality. I just watched him type. It’s an obvious trick, the only this is finding out how. I knew something was up when I told him to ask what was in my pocket and he said, “He doesn’t answer that kind of stuff.” I said, “So he only answers stuff that you know?” =)

  • 145 Darren Clark // Dec 5, 2007 at 3:15 pm

    Thanks a bunch! My Grade 7 son came home last night speaking of this ‘magic’ that only seemed to work for his friends and not for him. One quick search brought me here. Not only have I found the answer I was seeking but a lot of well thought-out and enjoyable reading on several common interests as well. I don’t need Peter’s help to predict that I’ll be visiting here often.

    Excellent work!

    Thanks Darren!

    I’m glad you found some of my drivel enjoyable!
