Such a low average only means than many Dutch don't work because they are too high to find a job.

haha they aren't exactly tests.  They are supposed to take forever.

The best is the "gorilla in our midsts" paper.  same guys who did the change blindness thing with the directions that that video was copying. 

Simons, D. J., & Chabris, C. F. (1999). Gorillas in our midst: Sustained inattentional blindness for dynamic events. Perception, 28, 1059-1074.

Read it, love it.

Respected researchers calling their own work "preposterous."  Yeah, that sounds like quantum mechanics I know and hate.

Really, if it's anything like torpedo fuel, I'm not surprised the people who made it forgot how, just so they (personally) wouldn't have to fuck with it again.  There is probably a better way to do it anyways.
