19 out of 20.

I read an article a while ago that said to look at the eyes and not the mouths. Apparently the article was right!

16 here. I could have had 18 but I was also more skeptical of a couple of the genuine smile men. A real smile kind of engages the whole face more or something, like this: :D

Yeah, many of them were odd looking British people. ;) I wonder we would do better with Americans.

Terrifying! She/he is going to give me nightmares this week!

I got 11. I identified most of the fake smiles...for me it was the eyes and post-smile looks. Some freaked me out they were so fake. And.....skeptical me....had a hard time spotting the genuines.

Another hint, from that article I read about American vs British smiles, is that Brits tend to smile with open mouths, while Americans show off their front teeth. But I think the article may have also argued that Americans tend to employ fake smiles more than Brits, do. I can't quite remember. That may have been my own little adlib. It helped to identify genuine Brit smiles, though. In addition to the eyes, I checked to see if their mouths were opened wide.

I got 13. I wonder why I care. If someone gives me a "fake smile," I'm usually happy for their effort.

Probably should have been 14/20, but I was thrown off by #9's cuteness. ;)

And yeah, #13: chick or dude...? :eek:
