I wonder whether there are visible conversion effects on the redwood question for native metric users? Estimates slightly on the short side and neatly divisible by three because the quick and dirty meter -> feet conversion is multiplying by three?
I rounded my guess to the nearest hundred, to cancel that effect.
My answer would be affected.
And the anchoring effect of the random number changes.
Oh crap, it's 3, not 2. Two is for kilograms -> pounds. Well, there's at least one answer a bit lower than intended. ^^
Seems easy to test for once the results are out: sort people into metric/non-metric groups by the "country" question and compare results.
