Finished it. I can't wait to read the post that talks about how bad people are at following directions.
I can already tell you that...well, you remember the preview thread. The one where I posted a version of the survey saying in big letters on the top "DO NOT TAKE THIS, IT IS NOT OPEN" and the first question was "You are not supposed to take the survey now" and the only answer was "Okay, I'll stop"?
Four people took it. Obviously they won't be counted.
(Reply to somewhat old post)
In "The Design of Everyday Things", Don Norman points out that having a "push" sign on a door where the most natural action is to pull the door is a bad design.
Having a sign saying "do not take this survey" on a survey that would otherwise look like you should take it seems to be an extension of that.
Did those people get the coin probability question right?
If there were more of them, I'd be interested to know if there were significant differences in the survey responses between the people who did and didn't.
