How often has Nostradamus been proved right in the past?
A. Estimates vary. Most commentators seem to think that around half of his predictions in the Centuries have been fulfilled so far. The trouble is that they disagree about just which predictions apply to which events (see 17. below). The result is that, taken overall, one would have to say that the number of agreed bull’s-eyes so far is probably rather less than 10%. Certainly such of his Presages as were specific seem to have turned out to be largely wrong at the time — their success-rate seems tohave been about 5.73%!
