I ran this experiment for a while (code at https://github.com/darius/wason https://github.com/darius/wason, derived from http://lesswrong.com/lw/g2/positive_bias_test_c_program/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/g2/positive_bias_test_c_program/).
In my logs most people seem to have gotten it right, though presumably that's because it was linked from LessWrong.
For an actually-fun game like this, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zendo_%28game%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zendo_%28game%29.
