Hmmm. It seems likely that some people will be overconfident, and some will be underconfident.

I would guess that a new visitor to the site will more likely be overconfident than underconfident; that implies that the old visitors, those who have practiced a bit, may be slightly more likely to be underconfident than overconfident.
