## In authors' words

### Who or what was studied (sample)

N = 406

### How they did it (methods)

Size and position judgements across three circles.

Badges: anomaly

### What they found (results)

96% sized correctly. Anomaly: 37% called the far-right circle 'center'.

## Commentary

### Response

The anomaly was resolved honestly — the authors checked the data repeatedly, then found Circle 3 was physically centred on the screen. That story belongs on a difficulties page as written.
