What kind of hair do they sell at iHop? Eggtensions

 

Whatever type of hair the cook puts into your burger when you send it back because it wasn't cooked well enough to your liking.

 

He's rejecting you because other people made one selection? And because the average time for turkers is under three minutes? Out of 100 people. I wonder how many and who took his pilot to get an 8-10 minute completion time. 80-year old non-English speakers? I was legitimately rejected on a hit yesterday for not breaking down the amount to distribute by the actual amount and instead using percentages. I'm so used to doing that on the allocation hits and it looks like several others did it too.

That's what I thought when I first read it, most people made only one selection out of all the answers? After reading more reviews, I figured it out. Surprise! Most people, when asked about using a self-driving car, would choose that the car save THEM the driver instead of anyone else on the road! And another surprise, it doesn't take that long to read the scenarios especially when they are all almost the same except for some little detail.

 

They said short fun so they reeled you in and then that fun got real short man.

Felix Mormann overturned rejection. Guess some others complained.

 

I like to email requesters and just complain about random stuff. Even when I don't do their HITs.

 

So that Lox requester was cool.

I would do those again.

Especially once I wrote the script.
