When you're finished, you can click on any missed question to discover the correct answer.

100 wallets dropped in front of hidden cameras to test honesty...

Wallettest. "...Each of the 100 wallets contained $2.10 in real money, a fake $50.00 gift certificate, some miscellaneous items and a clearly written ID card identifying the lost wallet's rightful owner. We were curious as to how honest people would be and wanted to see how different groups would compare to each other. For example, who would return the wallets more often... men or women? Young or old?" Results.

It's gonna be multiple choice, right?
