The team asked volunteers to count the number of people in a photograph of a crowd and supplied suggestions that were generated by a group of other people and sugges...

Had sue-and-settle groups like Center for Biological Diversity actually won, not only would they have gotten fat from 'legal fees' paid by you an...
