How it works
- Run the experiment. A short, classic judgment test — you predict or you choose.
- Bet how sure you are. On the guessing ones, say "pretty sure" or "just a hunch" — honestly.
- See the trap. The reveal names the bias, so you carry the word away.
- Check the science-meter. How sure are scientists — solid, still arguing, or didn't hold up?
