Top Ten Things to Do If You Could Read Minds

Reading the sixth Wings of Fire book got me thinking. Note that not all of these are nice things.
The Top Ten
1 Find a wanted criminal

See that old man over there? Yeah, he's the Zodiac Killer, according to what I just found out.

2 Cheat at math tests

Best choice ever, unless you are doing school virtually - Star

It's why my grades are so good

Face it, you'd do this.

3 Discover people's secrets

telepathically I know everyone’s collective secrets

4 Find out who your friend's crush is

Then I can start to plot against the guy and protect my friend! - Star

I'd be more inclined to find my own first to be honest haha.

I'd find out if my crush likes me first.

I would figure out everyone's crush.

5 Beat people in chess

"How did you predict that? "
"You're like an open book."

6 See what people think of you

I'm not entirely sure that I want to know what other people think of me.

I don't think that I want to know

7 Find out what someone is listening to

Usually (from my experience) this won't go well if you're in middle school.

8 Discover someone's murder plot before it happens

Cool but how would you find whose mind to read?

Then be ready to put a stop to it.

Yes!

Cool.

9 Pick up on the thought processes of a genius

Then, BAM! You're a genius too. It would be so much easier for me to explain my overcomplicated mind if I knew how they thought.

10 Read a book alongside someone

Suddenly burst out in laughter with the other person, then they look at you funny and suspect that you're reading their mind.

Even just reading my emotions would allow someone to do this to me.

Internal narration.

The Contenders
11 Find out if someone is lying
12 Know who the favorite child is

Even though I think I already know (it's me), I still want to know for sure.

13 Make a killing in Vegas

At least at card games. You would be able to tell what cards your opponent has and plan accordingly.

This would be a great idea actually
