Error response time. Empirical complementary cumulative distribution function (ccdf) of error recovery time in Puzzle 3 on a log-log scale. The ccdf indicates the proportion of errors that takes more than a given amount of time to be recovered. (Left panel) Log-normal best fit, shown in green, captures the empirical distribution better than a power law, shown in red; (Right panel) The data is best fitted by two log-linear models (thick green lines): a fast and lightly skewed one between 1 and 84 seconds representing 62% of the cdf and a slower heavily skewed one starting from 178 s representing 31% of the cdf, suggesting at least two error correction behaviors from the crowd: the initial, which covers most of the data, with extremely fast responses time, and another one with a slower response time.
