I'm aware of Kurzweil but I don't think I've read anything of his except for your earlier fact checking article (and that was long enough ago that I don't remember a thing about it).

It wouldn't be so hard to add a "do you think this prediction was made by Kurzweil or someone else? (don't google, but if you accidentally found the answer while researching, don't pretend not to know, either)" checkbox.

We'll ask about their familiarity with Kurzweil in general - but remember that the volunteers are going to do research on the questions, so it's very likely they'll realise it's Kurzweil at that point.
