I'm astonished by how many people attach such a great significance to that test. Three questions all of which are relatively common trick questions. For each question, I would expect about 60% of people to have already encountered it (or a very similar one) before somewhere else, about 20% of people who encounter it for the first time to give the correct answer, and about 90% of people who have encountered it before to remember (or remember how to derive) the correct answer.
In fact, I had thought that those three questions were only a sample, and when I realised they were the whole test, I was like 'WTF?'
I concur that the Ann/Bob/Carol question is more taxing than the Cognitive Reflection Test.
In fact I can prove for my own case sample size N = 1. I scored 3/3 on the CRT and I missed Ann/Bob/Carol as I did not look at Bob as being unambiguously either married or unmarried and shot myself in my own damn foot on the sucker.
