I reported the “coarse” results which lumps together “don’t know,” “insufficiently familiar to answer,” and several others. Here are the fine data for undergraduates:
Newcomb’s problem: one box or two boxes?
Insufficiently familiar with the issue 114 / 217 (52.5%)
Lean toward: one box 22 / 217 (10.1%)
Accept: one box 18 / 217 (8.3%)
Lean toward: two boxes 18 / 217 (8.3%)
Accept: two boxes 17 / 217 (7.8%)
Skip 13 / 217 (6.0%)
Agnostic/undecided 9 / 217 (4.1%)
There is no fact of the matter 2 / 217 (0.9%)
Accept an intermediate view 2 / 217 (0.9%)
Reject both 2 / 217 (0.9%)
