100 humans was a fun quick watch.

There were allot of times where I thought they could have controlled or blinded the studies better. Or even that they measured something different from what they thought they were measuring. But it kinda has the early mythbusters feel to it, where they're thinking to themselves "I can't believe they're paying me to do this ####".

Example of bad experimental method.

Spoiler!

When they're passing the ball for reward or punishment, they do reward first and punishment second. To show punishment is more motivating, but they didn't account for the experience of having a practice round. Also when they did the memory thing for battle of the ages, they just tallied up the numbers of people who made it all the way to the end, not considering the rate at which the dropped out early on.
