Fair

Unrated

Unrated

$9.58 / hour
00:32:11 / completion time

Pros: Very simple HIT in the iframe. Compare sounds for a super long time, basically. Earn bonus by getting answers correct. I enjoy these occassionally for a change-up.
Cons: Tedious and a bit annoying on the ears, especially considering how long this one takes. Bonus is variable based on how good your ear is. If you don't do well at these, they are definitely not worth your time. Pay is only decent if you get them nearly all correct.

Here's my poncho story:

- I said something awesome and @Randomacts had to check my FB to tell whether it was true,
- @Randomacts inadvertently clicks an interesting-looking affiliate link while there,
- @Randomacts plans a trip to Oregon to ask me personal questions about what I said,
- @Randomacts buys a poncho, umbrella, and a flashlight because he heard Oregon is always rainy and cloudy, and being from California, doesn't know what to expect or what to bring.

I've sometimes wondered how many people here do surveys versus other tasks. I make most of my MTurk money from surveys, but that's probably because they're easier to fit in as I am in an office during the day and going to meetings and such. I also find a lot of tasks are blocked by our web filters (no C-SATs during the day, cry).
