    Make sure you put the one you want to dye from Dysentery in last. They die from the bottom up.

    There are limitless number of reasons it may not be accurate every time :/. I'd rather get null data (that doesn't affect the requester's profile in either direction) than someone just auto-submitting a mistaken calculation that throws an $1,800/hr rating into the mix lol.

    Its certainly not a perfect system, but its better than no help in time-tracking whatsoever and slightly less evil than auto-reporting potentially bad data IMO. If anyone has better systems I'm all ears though :emoji_ear::emoji_ear::emoji_ear:

    In theory, absolutely. But in practice, accuracy isn't really the selling point, is it?

    A noble goal ... sure.

    I suspect for most, it's ballpark figures/"close enough for government work."

    Personally, I think it'll be a rare case when I say (other than for batches) ... wow that extra 20 seconds is a total non-starter.

    To be clear, I don't REALLY care ... I'm one of those people that marks totally agree to the questions about do you spend time analyzing things that don't particularly pertain to you.

    And it's like the ACA ... you gave it to me and now you snatched it away :)

    Maybe a button to "use this supplied data?" Filing in drop downs is not my idea of "fun."

    I didn't notice, but does it set the focus into the minute field so I can type the number, tab, and type the seconds?

    Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

    You've received a bonus from Duke Center for Behavioral Economics for work related to 3ECKRY5B1QWIENR0P8XS38NZ20BIZG.
    The value of your bonus is: $12.40 USD

    The Requester included this note:
    Bonus for completing the bowling game and guessing the number between 1 and 20 correctly.

    Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

    Sincerely,
    Amazon Mechanical Turk

    I know it is only 12.40 but this truly made me tear up. that is all..
