    Abstract: We have earlier proposed the idea of making card drawing
experiment of which outcome potentially decides whether Large Hadron Collider
(LHC for short) should be closed or not. The purpose is to test theoretical
models which, like e.g. our own model that has an imaginary part of the
action with much a similar form to that of the real part. The imaginary part
has influence on the initial conditions not only in the past but even from
the future. It was speculated that all accelerators producing large amounts
of Higgs particles like the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC for short)
would call for initial conditions to have been so arranged as to finally not
allow these accelerators to come to work. If there were such effects we could
perhaps provoke a very clear cut "miracle" by having the effect make the
drawn card be the one closing LHC. Here we shall, however, discuss that a
total closing is hardly needed and seek to calculate how one could perform
checking experiment for the proposed type of influence from future to be made
in the statistically least disturbing and least harmful way.

    We shall also discuss how to extract most information about our effect or
model in the unlikely case that a card restricting the running of LHC or the
Tevatron would be drawn at all, by estimating say the relative importance of
high beam energy or of high luminosity for the purpose of our effect.
