Can you spot a fake smile?

Statistically equal to guessing. After reading the "hints" 18 of 20.

Plus I would just like to add, #13 is very scary looking.

I also wonder if this type of reseach has a practical application like being able to tell if a woman is faking it...

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

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.

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.
