I freaking hate when surveys ask you extremely specific questions about what you read, like about how many millions or exact percentage of people are affected by something. I read the entire thing and was paying attention, but I don't memorize exact numbers. That's not an efficient way to make sure people are paying attention. That's just a way for me to return the HIT. It's like high schoolers getting a lecture on a topic and then immediately have a quiz on it without getting to study. You don't just memorize that stuff instantly unless you have a photographic memory.

I think more often than not that those questions are part of the study, not necessarily an attention check. So like, they want to know if you completely forgot already or not. But, of course, sometimes they are ACs so... um, yeah... surveys suck.

Ok, this $6 Jacquelyn Zehner hit is, .....um, I can't tell if it's "batch work" or an experiment, so I don't want to say too much. It's going to take a while to complete though.

I dig out my old Myspace Profile Pic and upload that along with a bunch of Everclear lyrics and a reminder to everyone that WinAmp really "whips the Llama's buttocks."

Yeah, I don't want to take the risk that it's an attention check. Also, I read somewhere that humans aren't very good with large numbers anyway. That's why those commercials getting you to donate to third world countries or to children's hospitals don't just say "millions of people are dying!", but they also show you one specific kid as an example. Because millions is just too big of a number to really understand, but if you show someone specific, they're going to remember that specific example. So basically even though I'm reading these surveys, my brain cancels out the "50 million" "2 million" "82%", etc and just replaces it with "big number". So I can't recall the exact number when being quizzed on it, I just know it wasn't like 10 people lol. but 2 million and 50 million are basically the same number to me.

A common glitch with Zoltar, that has a solution? Or is this on Zoltar's end.

Thank you.
