What’s also interesting is how the smart people lied differently. The low-intelligence liars overwhelmingly went big — most of them claimed they rolled a six, which gave them the highest payoff. But the high-intelligence liars were more modest. They were more likely to lie and say they rolled a four or a five.
There are two mysteries here. First, why were the less intelligent people more likely to lie? Second, why were the smarter liars so sheepish about going for the maximum payoff?

Hard to read— some of us are blind
I guess I am small minded.

Silly test. Still, had I tried, I would have reported my die stopped and balanced on 1 point rather than a side.
That would have to be worth more than $15, right?
