    This three week rule to pay pennies for studies is just wrong, imho. I have one due today and two almost a fortnight old, any one of which would enable cashing out without fees. It is far too long to wait for a pittance. I don't mind with the multi part studies as they set out their stalls at the outset.

    Rant over. Save the sarcasm, mikep, I cba.

    I was stuck on £19.99! Imagine the rage! But some kind person has paid me so I can now cash out without fees tomorrow. It's nice when they listen, isn't it?

    Let us all hope they listen to you, mikep, and send us surveys though I rather think they have all abandoned their posts and gone to Ibiza by now. Innit?

    I got this, then when trying to start it, I got error 404's which was frustrating, eventually got it to work.

    Very easy £4.55.

    Now, Prolific, Mike wants more.

    Well, mikep, I can only say I am extremely surprised to learn you are a female between the ages of 55 and 64. What's in a username?

    That was a good payer - I wonder why so much for what they were asking.

    The brainwork bits at the end timed out before I had begun to get my head around them... I think I will blame the heat. Plus they asked for your name, which I think is contra to the whole anonymised data bit. I know, this time, it was only your first name but there was one last week that wanted a full name. I used the one I always use for such purposes...
