Simple Tests for Identifying Mickey Mouse Codes

There are some simple tests that can help identify the more obvious Mickey Mouse cases - we can look at skip distances and/or at close "meetings" of words.

Looking again at the Mickey Mouse table:

We see at the bottom that its ELS's have skip distances that are ranked 33, 9 and 48 for Mickey, Mouse and President, respectively. This means that there are 32 other ELS's for Mickey in the book of Genesis with smaller skip than the one in our table; 8 ELS's of Mouse with smaller skip than our Mouse, and 47 shorter ELS's for President. So we can think of it as 33 (or more) Mickey's "running" around in the text, and 48 (or more) Presidents. Many of the Mickey's are going to "meet" many of the Presidents in the same table - it's almost unavoidable. And in many of those cases, one of the 9 Mouse's will be there close by to "witness" it.

In contrast, from one of the twin towers tables:

We see the ranks of Twin, Towers, and plane are 1, 2 and 2 respectively, in the book of Numbers (actually "twin" ranks first in the entire Torah). So we have 1 Twin which must meet up with one of only two Towers at the same spot where 1 of only 2 planes is "flying" around in the text. Slightly more involved - but also more significant - is the other twin towers example shown again here:

The skip is much larger (3805, vs 36 for the airplane example), but the closeness of the meetings of the words actually far outweighs this and is highly significant: the closest meeting in the entire Torah of "bin Laden" and "terror attack" (the most frequently cited words in Twin Towers related articles in the weeks following 9/11, in the online Hebrew news, "Haaretz") just happens to be in the same picture with one of the 3 best meetings in the Torah of "twin" with "towers".

Together, these two twin tower results are significant on the order of 1 in 100,000 or much more.

Sometimes these simple tests of skip distance ranks and/or close meetings are not enough to distinguish the Mickey Mouse from the interesting cases. For example, long phrases found via proper protocols - over a dozen letters typically (such as the "cursed is bin Laden" phrase) - far outweigh considerations of skip distance. More extensive methods are covered later.
