Effort choice

Take an easy task for a small sure amount or a harder one for more

What it looks at

How you decide when extra effort is worth it, and how much the size of the reward and the chance of being paid move your choices. There is no correct strategy here.

How to play

Each round offers two tasks. The easy one is 5 presses in 3 seconds for £1. The harder one is 60 presses in 12 seconds for a larger amount that changes every round.

Every round also shows the chance of being paid. Finishing a task does not guarantee payment, and a task you do not finish in time pays nothing.

You have 5 seconds to choose, or one is picked for you, and 2 minutes in total. All amounts are virtual cash.
