      Thus, in the first 100 experiments made with the second movement greater, it was judged greater seventy-six times, less twenty-one times, and the experimentee was unable to come to a decision three times.

      The experimentees learn their results at the end of the two-hour show, and while the discovery of a white man or an Ashkenazi Jew in the family tree might seem unsurprising to the viewer, it knocks some of the test subjects for a loop.
