yea I finally figured it out lol
Had to scroll up for more context

 

[Peachy]

hi yeah, not bad. Happy there's something to do. Actually makes it an exciting Friday night for me, lol. How are you?

same. just bored turking right now

racking up the pennies

Interesting, looks like many are trying to crack qualification test. The highest score you can get is 110. I will post the score distribution in few minutes. Writing code as we speak.

Here you go:

(score, number of people)
(110, 13)
(100, 11)
(80, 5)
(90, 3)
(60, 1)
(70, 1)

May I ask, I began the hit and this message popped up "Your partner disconnected in between. You won't be penalized unless you paired with yourself. Submitting hit!". I have not touched anything. Because rejections are serious, does this mean if we paired with ourself the hit will be rejected? This would be costly to turkers.

Did you pair with yourself? If you pair up with yourself, this shouldn't happen. If your partner has disconnected, your hit won't be rejected.

 

[Roscoe E Goldchain]

well this is interesting

 

[kopete]

feels 110 man.

You are a star

How would we tell if we paired with ourself? I began the hit and the message I posted above appeared and the hit submitted on its own.

I have someone that isn’t answering very well on my chat. Do I disconnect or submit it?

Sudden increase in number of qualified people: Looks like a serious Friday night

(score, number of people)
(110, 13)
(100, 13)
(80, 4)
(90, 3)
(60, 1)
(70, 1)

Then you did not. Don't worry. If you open two hits of the same task, you may get paired up if there is nobody around.

My chat is frozen with the "waiting for next person to speak" but they did speak and it's my turn, but I can't type anything.

I answered two questions with my partner and now it seems like I'm at a stand-still.

 

[kopete]

My hits are coming to an end. But don't worry. I will post 1000's of them next week after analysing this data.

 

[electrolyte]

I think we did them all! I just accepted one that said the HIT was expired and to return it. I did, and I think they're gone now.

The hit will be autosubmitted. Wait for few more minutes.

 

[tricker]

It just told me to return the hit that I hadn't been active in a while, but there wasn't anything I could do. It would not let me type at all.

Nevermind, it just submitted itself. :thumbup:

Thank you for the clarification. I'll give my feedback now that I paired and completed the hit. As I mentioned before, rejections are serious issues in turkland and many of us go to great pains to avoid them. the hit has thorough instructions, but many. The only issue I can see is if someone pairs with themself or how dependant the hit is on the performance of another turker. For example, the hit I just completed submitted when the person I was paired with ended the chat. Some may be intimidated by the risk involved with depending on another to complete the hit properly, for example, someone else not answering or asking correctly etc...

Yayyyy, done . But this is just a test run. More to come next week. I will keep you posted. It was fun. Thanks so much everybody.

 

[tricker]

so I should wait and see if it submits? Because it's saying return.
