I need to go to 30 houses. And I need someone else to go ahead of me by about one house or two, with a sucky costume. hahahaa. Or two of you can go wth sucky costumes, and I'll find someone else with an awesome costume to come with me. The sucky costume group must have the same number of participants as the cool costume group. The same route, the same houses, but one of the two groups must go ahead of the other group on the same route, by about a house or two, so that the rations will most likely be biased in such a way.
(within groups, hander outers of candy tend to ration the amounts evenly among each person so as to be "fair", this is why we cannot combine the bad costume with the good in one group, they must Trick or Treat on their own terms. )
And yes, I am perfectly serious. This research is for a midterm.
Please, help a Lizzy out. It will be fun.
ANY VOLUNTEERS????????

Wow, I think this is a great experiment!! You are one smart cookie, Liz
If I am around on Halloween (depends on if I go out to Penn State that weekend or not) I will help you out with the sucky costume part. I will just go as myself or something.
