    Whoops - looks like Prolific's website just vanished... all pages are showing 404 errors (and a Google logo for some reason).

    It's not just Prolific - I'm getting the same errors on Etsy and apparently other websites are affected too. Presumably an issue with a cloud provider.

    I've completed 9 since this morning. Before today, I was down to about 1 a week, if that.

    Did anyone do the colour discrimination one earlier where you had to say if it was dark or light grey? Very weird. Just started randomly guessing by the end.

    I started wondering if there was actually any difference. I think most of them I was just guessing, but even with the ones that I was convinced were one or the other, I don't think I got any more right than I would by chance.

    So after all my lack of studies for weeks, £25 in the last week, including £10 for an hour long one. 
    Happy now. 
    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.
