      It’s the same problem with double blind tests. Writing protocol when blindfolded is hard

        Not to mention, wearing both blindfolds at once is very uncomfortable on top of my glasses

        Maybe test if they can play pin the tail on the donkey?

          But how do you test it when you are blindfolded as well? Or is the donkey blindfolded? I don’t understand

            in an omni-blind trial. Everyone is blindfolded including the donkey. Donkey is wearing protective synthetic skin except at the right spot. It’ll let you know.
