I feel like the ultimatum game would have been an easy 5-6 questions (whatever it was) If I had longer than 6 minutes to complete it because of fucking invisible sculptures.

Doing the math out now, I recall finishing the first two passages in ~16 minutes, and having 5 minutes called on the last paragraph of the passage...which i rushed. That leaves about 13 minutes on the sculptor...wtf was i thinking.

Does anyone remember what they picked on the second question in the ultimatum game?...Something like the ultimatum game is an example of:....I picked the answer that said something like, a situation where the results are unpredictable.

Is that the credited response?

LOL.

well, not entirely. the passage said two-thirds offer 40-50 percent, which means a fair number go off the reservation.

dude, I feel you. I took forever on the first two passages and ended up with ten minutes to finish the last two, which I just barely did. I can't even remember what the ultimatum game was about right now because I went through it so fast. I'm kicking myself now for not pacing my time better.

I agree it was not exactly 100% predictable, however when you got to the end of the passage, it inferred that it was predictable to an extent. Also, what constitute predictable? Hard to say man.

I'm sorry mate... it's not the unpredictable answer... the passage says it DEFIES intuition... not prediction
I'm unsure what I put here:
I think it was like "The ultimatum game helps prove that human beings are not always self-interested, but sometimes interested in self-esteem"

Bingo was his nameo.

Damn. That answer sounds perfect -- I don't even remember that being among the choices. Guess I F-ed that one up.

Please remember not to specifically discuss questions/answers. If in doubt, don't do it. More explicitly, if you do it, you will be banned.

hey lsac you can juss take yer ultimatum and **hiccup** shove it.

But do you remember a question from the ult game that was odd, or made you feel like you missed the point of something converyed in the passage?... I can't remember what the question was about, but I want to say it was maybe the 3rd or 4th question?

I think I put unpredictable too, and then there was another question (I think it was the fourth question) that mentioned something about the game being unpredictable so I figured that I had put the right answer. For the last two questions, was the answer for one of them talking about how the theory that the author was against doesn't explain why people reject unfair offers, and then another one had the opposite answer about how the self-esteem theory explains why people make fair offers and not just why reject unfair ones

the passage never said that behavior in the ultimatum game was "unpredictable," just that results were counter intuitive to standard economic theory.

it was not explicitly stated, it might be the wrong answer but I don't think that the self-esteem answer is the right one either, because the question asked about the ultimatum game itself, and the self-esteem explanation is given as a possible theory to explain the game, the author says that it is a better theory than that other one. The self-esteem answer implies that the passage conclusively proved that self-esteem explains the ultimatum game
