Then how this non vertebrate even chose the winner?

It’s simple. Two transparent plastic boxes flagged two different countries were included in the aquarium where Paul lived. The boxes were filled with the same types of foods octopus. The first plastic box that opened the octopus will come out as winners. Believe it or not, the octopus that lives at Sea Life, a natural under the sea sights in the west of the City Oberhasusen; Germany was always precise to determine the winner. Paul just needs a short time when predicting a winner between Germany and England, which could be interpreted Der Panzer will win easily on the Three Lions. Meanwhile, Paul did a different thing when it predicted German victory over Argentina in the quarter-final.

“It takes a long time to determine the winner between Germany and Argentina, even after opening the box he is still waiting for the German-flagged long time to come inside and take a Diet,” said Tanja Munzig Sea Life spokesman.

According to the octopus Munzig behavior could mean the fight between Germany against Argentina will be difficult and may end up with a penalty shoot-out.

Yet many do not believe in Paul “miracle”. But Munzig convince Paul had his own secrets.

“No tricks, food is placed inside the same box and everything that is in the box was also the same except the flag,” concluded Munzig.
