- gwern 11y agoThat's probably a trap question, to let you filter out people who aren't paying attention. Similarly, in the 'recognize words' section, I'm fairly sure some of those words aren't real and so you could increase data quality by throwing out anyone who claims to recognize fake words.
- snikeris 11y agoI took my time to answer everything, but didn't type in 'cat'.
- akavel 11y agoI thought about it for a while, and then it occurred to me, that there are actually many ways one could possibly understand that -- thus replying e.g.: - cat - "cat" - 'cat' - panther (not exactly a cat, but kinda -- that's why it was in quotes, no?) - [one could type "cat" in one's terminal] - "Whiskers", etc. (i.e. name of one's cat) then, one could make a typo (thus e.g. "ca" or "catt"), or finally something more or less totally random, given that it's an open question (thus e.g. "no", or "How are you?", or whatever). So, not that stupid a question I thought initially :)

- TallGuyShort 11y agoMy phone was going put 'Cat', but I corrected it to match 'cat'. I'd be curious to know how many people on smartphones would do the same.

- rspeer 11y agoIn a bit of "don't tell me what to do" pique, I typed the cat emoji, . Turns out something in Google Forms uses UCS-2 internally, so it rejected my whole survey. EDIT: I guess Arc isn't very good at this either.

- izzydata 11y agoI included the quotes and then typed here with a colon after it.
