  We introduce SmileyNet, a novel neural network with psychic abilities. It is
inspired by the fact that a positive mood can lead to improved cognitive
capabilities including classification tasks. The network is hence presented in
a first phase with smileys and an encouraging loss function is defined to bias
it into a good mood. SmileyNet is then used to forecast the flipping of a coin
based on an established method of Tasseology, namely by reading tea leaves.
Training and testing in this second phase are done with a high-fidelity
simulation based on real-world pixels sampled from a professional tea-reading
cup. SmileyNet has an amazing accuracy of 72% to correctly predict the flip of
a coin. Resnet-34, respectively YOLOv5 achieve only 49%, respectively 53%. It
is then shown how multiple SmileyNets can be combined to win the lottery.
