That doesn't work for someone with something to prove, and most "psychics" who would accept these challenges have something to prove.

I don't say that to discourage people from doing the kind of thing you suggest. In fact, I love finding solid data which supports psychic phenomenon, I'm just saying (in regard to the challenge presented in this thread) that an attempt to appease skeptics is futile.
