Generalization of Newcomb's Problem: Omega predicts your behavior with accuracy p.

This one could actually be experimentally tested, at least for certain values of p; so for instance we could run undergrads (with $10 and $100 instead of $1,000 and $1,000,000; don't bankrupt the university) and use their behavior from the pilot experiment to predict their behavior in later experiments.
