I made the change to “irrelevant anchors”, thanks.
though instead of spinning a viscerally random wheel they just handed each student a piece of paper that included the sentences “We chose (by computer) a random number between 0 and 100. The number selected and assigned to you is X = ___”
What’s funny is that these kinds of small changes (a piece of paper vs. spinning a wheel) might be responsible for if the effects appear or not, at least if you take the published research at face value.
