We have Jenaro Diaz, who is an expert in occult sciences that has not yet proven though, but that will be useful in the World Championship.
Last year, however, did not work. He put in two Tupperware containers some food. He put in one container tickets with positive words like love, happiness, joy, etc., and in the other one negative words like hate, war. His theory was that the food would go bad in the last container while in the other won’t. The result was that both went bad. Hopefully Jenaro will pull a rabbit out of his hat.
