Hi!
I tried what Dana suggested. Found a book (A case of need by Michael Chricton), did the prepare, preview,photoread parts and after waiting for 24 hrs I asked my friend to ask me a few things.
I was pleasantly surprised. I answered correctly in many questions (my answers in brackets) : in which city and country is the story placed (Boston , US); Did character X have a lawyer? (Yes, a black lawyer); what is the race/nationality of character X? (Chinese); how did character X end up in the hospital? (went to bad neighbourhood and got beaten up)

I noticed that whenever I gave an instant or almost instant answer that was when I got most think right.
So unless I was so lucky or so many coincidences took place, I proved myself once again that this technique actually works :-)
