Under rating threshold (show) If you are studying the capacity of learning of people when they are distracted, are you sure it is a good idea to tell them before the test starts?

Under rating threshold (show) Update: I've added an option to allow you to change your rotation speed (Thanks shazbut for the suggestion). @Neatnit: that is totally normal, and a great score. I'll post a "walk-through" or more thorough explanation of how the game works once the contest is over, for anyone who's interested.

Under rating threshold (show) @XMRs: that is certainly a concern. Any experiment like this has to balance the need to tell people something about the experiment, and the desire not to influence their performance. At this point, I'd just say that we'll be comparing any data we get from this sample to people tested under other conditions.
