The question is "what's the special thing we can learn from this?", because decision making failures happen all the time. In order to upvote this article, I'd like to see some original elaboration on decision making with high stakes and under time pressure.
When guessing the teacher's password, always go with the optimal fit for syntax?
For a start: Don't jump to conclusions.
To elaborate -- are the wrong answers that arise through stupidity, being ill-informed, or being careless similar to or totally different from the wrong answers that arise when the material is just very difficult? Can those who see themselves as above-average in intelligence, informedness, and carefulness learn something from a video like this? Are important decisions of rationality ever made in this type of time pressure? What is the influence of making the decision under the glare of a hundred people (live) or a million (tv)?
