Approved
$37.21 / hour

Pros
Quite an easy HIT to understand, and if the Requester actually does pay, then the hourly rate will be generous.Update: After emailing the Requester about the Rejection, he did indeed reverse the rejection and credit me the $4.00. So, I won't be downgrading the rating for the pay scale. It remains at a value of "Generous."
Cons
Requester rejected HIT for "completion in less than half the expected time." This sort of policy only punishes those who are fast readers and can comprehend well despite reading quickly. I have emailed an requested an override of the Rejection, and will as needed update the Communication score based on what this Requester does or does not do.Update: Requester did overturn the Rejection, though based on the contents of his reply it appears that he only responded to my email with a form message and not an actual response. Still, an overturn is better than no overturn, and a form message better than not bothering to reply at all. I've thus upgraded the Communication score from "Poor" to "Average/Acceptable" in light of this.
Update 2: Requester did respond eventually with an actual typed (and not copy-pasted) email message about why he'd made and subsequently overturned the Rejection, so I'm upgrading the Communication Score on this from "Average" to "Good."
Advice to Requester
Stop rejecting based on times taken to complete. I see based on the reviews I'm not the only Rejection you've issued for this reason. At the very least, understand that people can speed-read.Now, if it was under one or two minutes for this entire HIT? Sure, I'll grant that that's got to be a bot. But just under seven minutes? That's not a bot; that's a human that happens to be a quick reader! You need to be factoring in that not everybody reads at the same pace. I'm not sure who (if anybody) you tested this on initially, but even an average MTurker is going to be much faster at study or survey completion than your run-of-the-mill college student, research assistant, or focus group participant.

Pros
Pretty good payCons
Rejected for completing in less than half the time. Literally 3 seconds below the (half) expected time of 20 minutes got me rejected.He doesn't seem to have approved a single HIT. Looks like a one and done scammer who will probably just make another account and con more free data.
update: Rejection overturned as it should be

Pros
Edit: Rejection reversed but condescending AF emailCons
- rejection same as others- who rejects based on time when you've already embedded ACs in the bubbles?
Edit: "In response to your concerns about time, the average was more than 26 minutes. The average for Master workers was 35 minutes. Also, less than 5% of the participants were originally rejected for speed."
There is no WAY Master's took 35m
