1. complied, by attempting to duplicate the paragraph (whether accurately or not)

2. refused to comply, and by which method:
A. making subtle changes on purpose
B. making obvious changes
C. making comments on how the experiment should have been run.

I haven't counted - that's Jonathan's job - but my impression is that group 1 is bigger than group 2, and that does surprise me.

However, this experiment doesn't reveal another division which I would find interesting:

1.A. people who genuinely complied and retyped the paragraph

1.B. people who cut and pasted - wanting to appear compliant, but taking advantage of an untraceable way to cheat.
