[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3841934, member: 78244"]I think part of it is the mentality that it is better to be under than over, so their guesses are stricter when guessing, especially when there are major value changes. I have been keeping a record of my guesses in the experiment. I have 5 under vs 8 correct vs 2 over. Of the 5 under, 3 were due to stricter standards, and 2 were because I erred on the side of caution for borderline coins. The 2 over were due to guessing from a phone, which I no longer do. All are +/- 1 point. I wonder how many of us tend to err on the side of caution, have harsher standards, or guess from phones. Knowing that would go a long way to help explain/normalize the results. Ooo. A logistical nightmare. Try to get as many CTers at a coin show as possible?[/QUOTE]
