Didn't think about it at the time. I honestly just instantly went with what felt right -- finished the entire thing in about a minute (maybe 1.5). If I think about it now, I most likely used the shape of their eyes, overall shape of the face, position of cheekbones, shape of the nose, possibly their coloring, although I'm colorblind, so I always take that criteria with a grain of salt. Hairstyle didn't give anything away. As to why, chalk it up to experience. I live in NYC (Queens, actually, where the Asian population is heaviest) and lots of friends and ex-girlfriends are Asian -- mostly chinese and Korean. (I'm not. I'm a white male) That might explain it? I dunno, thought it was pretty easy. I *was* surprised at the ones I got wrong though. They were two people I thought were Japanese who were Chinese. I got a man and a woman wrong -- don't remember their exact placement on the list (does the site randomize the pictures? I didn't check that). The ones I thought I'd never get (the guy with his tongue sticking out and a guy who had his faced crunched up) I got right. How did some of the Asian listmembers do? Jon
