I vaguely recall doing math on problem #2, and figuring "$20 in 60 days = $.33 dollar per day = not worth the time it takes to think about it." It looks like most people did some different math; what does that math look like?
On the anchoring question, I recommend putting a "click here to automatically generate a random number" button instead of a link to an external site. I'm pretty sure I read ahead and realized what the number would be used for, and I bet many others did, also.
75>55
Really? Would you prefer $55 now or $75 ten minutes before the heat death of the universe?
(Edit: Point being, of course, that whatever the correct math is, it needs to factor in time somehow...)
(Edit 2: Or maybe that was the joke and I didn't get it...)
75/55 in two month intuitively looks like a huge return, with no work required.
I guess you want to know about at the math in the general case? I'm not familiar with that, sorry.
