this seemed pretty tricky when i tried it out. from the beginning, i knew that i should pay attention to everything but their mouths. eyes n cheeks tell a lot. i got 17/20.

Here's what I got out of this: Brits are still butt ass ugly people.

16/20 for me. My question is this: how do we know the testers knew if they were being sincere or not. They could just have a REALLY good fake smile (or a really bad sincere smile)

How can you have a bas sincere smile?

I assume they caught them smiling randomly for the genuine ones and recorded those. And for the fake ones, they said, "OK, fake smile now."

On thing that threw me off was how quickly some of the legit smiles stopped, making them seem fake.
