    I've just done that one and had to flip a real coin twice and report whether it came down two heads in a row. It didn't and I reported it accurately as I'm too honest for my own good.



    Me too. Very odd one though. Why make a point of saying there's no deception involved then set it up in a way that encourages people to tell porkies.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I did this one and actyually got two heads (as you would, in 1 in 4 cases).


    I think they meant there's no deception involved from their point of view. However, they are looking to measure the extent to which other people tell porkies, which of course you can do statistically if you have enough data points.

    It could be the point of the research...how many people tell lies when given financial incentives?

    The blurb said the purpose was too see if people were more or less likely to lie when the coin tossing graphic was an animated app or a plain picture.

    But certainly did the job of making me think about how much meat I eat, certainly in my case anyway.

    Ive been paid the 20p and 60p bonus for it.

    Is there that much actual meat in noodles? I assumed it was just meat flavour

    You do know the whole noodles thing is just me being silly, right? ;) Though I do like a delishous shin cup noodle from time to time.

    I actually have quite a good diet - for all my sins.
