Вот тут есть тест, который с помощью ряда вычислений позволяет определить, мужчина вы, или женщина. Среди прочего там есть такая задача.
Imagine you have been paired up with someone for this task. You have both been given some money to divide between you. You decide how much you want. The other person decides whether the split is acceptable.

If they say it's OK - you get the money you demanded and they get the rest. If they say it's not OK - both of you leave with nothing.

If you have been given £50 to split, how much would you demand for yourself?
Поскольку купюру в £50 разделить на двоих невозможно, я решил думать, что речь идет о стопке из пятидесяти купюр по £1. В такой формулировке это хороший вопрос для интервью в детском саду. А именно, я возьму себе £49, а мой напарник возьмет £1, что для него будет предпочтительнее, чем не взять ничего.

А теперь внимание, правильный ответ.
In previous studies, people tended to offer between £17.50 and £20, and reject offers below £11.50, on average.

Interestingly, this average varies across cultures: Spaniards are said to offer the least (around £13) Japanese offer the most (£22). The French have one of the highest thresholds for acceptance - they'll reject offers of £15. Germans are willing to accept £5.
