I’ve done two now, and yes, you’re right that tutorial didn’t show up second time round.
Brain still fried though, so I’ll see if there’s any left to do in the morning. 

Yes they are more 'challenging' than a lot of studies (to say the least)

I have now done 5 so far. I am doing one, going for a break, then seeing if there are any left to do. Might as well get the most of it while I can - last time they only let me do three before they vanished.

I do loads of the AI ones - they are my main earner from Prolific these days as they tend to come in waves, so I try and do as many as I can bear whilst they are around (yes, they do fry my brain after a while!).  And they pay immediately as well.  I just wish they did shorter ones than an hour as sometimes I can't commit the full hour.

I don't remember having to give loads of permissions - they mostly generate a new, specific gmail address now and you complete through that, which must be linked to my prolific account.

Out of interest, what’s the most you’ve done in one go? I’m currently on number nine since Friday night - Decided I needed to get out and do something else after my idiot dog kept me up after the night otherwise it would’ve been more.

I don't do more than two at a time - I value my sanity.

Am I the only one that no longer gets them
Received loads last year. Must have done something wrong.

I think I managed 3 in a row once, then had to go and lie down in a darkened room.  The worst ones are the really scientific/ maths/ coding ones which mean nothing to me.  I ended up skipping most of them, and haven't had one of those for a while so I think I may have been booted off them (thank goodness).

I used to dislike the ones that were more text. The ones at the moment are more graphs and charts, So unless they get into the realms of quadrilateral equations, I prefer them. Which I think is why I’m able to stick with these ones where I couldn’t do more than two at a time before.  I am learning a few things.

This is the first time I've had them on repeat and its been 8 days now. I only ever got the odd one before. 

I've done plenty this week as I've been laid up in bed/sofa mostly so I'm making hay while the sun (sort of) shines. It means a step change in earnings but of course it could all stop tomorrow too. 

I do skip a few mainly when I don't even know what the question is about. I do worry a bit how many they expect in an hour as they vary hugely.

No, I got them ALOT last year, but they ended for me around the start of December and I haven't had one since.
