Commit to not talk to anyone about the results of your test. No hinting, nothing. If you do this the experiment is worthless. Don't even mention it; if asked about it, say 'I promised beforehand that I would not give out information'. Take a coin, flip it twenty times or so, record heads and tails. This is not a good test but it's simple and easy and can at least theoretically provide some information.
