        @sapinker Fun! Got 24/24 correct but I'm not a fast language learner. Good guesser? Yes! Also, feedback could interfere with performance.

        @sapinker "Compared with 10 other people who did this experiment, you would score better than 9." is it a real thing?

        @ishinosan @sapinker Ish. As exp. runs, we update those numbers. But the initial estimates were actually pretty good for this experiment.
