Pros
EDIT: Requester responded to an email I sent about the missing images, stating that he's working on it. It's a response - something some Requesters seem to forget about - so that does make me feel a bit better about this.The pay is good, yeah, but so many people couldn't do this very simple task solely because the instructions were a bit broken.
It was fun, though, to be fair.
Cons
Those instructions had quite a lot of errors, and the wording in some cases was also a bit off. Images were missing, and one of the example probabilities said: "31%, 30%", so who the heck knows what the true values were supposed to be, there...The comprehension questions were a tad odd in terms of wording.

Pros
Pay turned out to be very good. You get 4.50 for finishing (4.25 paid as a bonus), plus possible other bonuses based on the tasks performed.Bonus was paid the same day
Cons
I thought it was a bit weird to only pay 25 cents base, if you're supposed to get 4.50 just for finishing. The HIT should pay 4.50 and then the other stuff should be an actual bonus. But it worked out as the bonus did pay quickly. I think the 0.25 is just for people who don't pass the instructions test.Very hard to understand the first task. I've taken graduate courses in probability and I still am not sure I did what they're looking for or not. I don't know if it's an English translation issue or what, but they really need to find a way to make it more comprehensible to people.

Pros
Thought I got booted for answering one of the comprehension questions incorrectly, and was kind of bummed, 'cause I misread the prompt. Buuuut, they provided a link in the "unfortunately, you're dumb" page (paraphrased ;)) that allowed me to begin again, really saving the hourly.TL;DR: This can be done faster.
Update: Hit approved and bonus paid the same day.
Cons
Looots of instructions for a pretty straightforward procedure.
