That's bull. The female displayed a very clear need to make a call, and was acting the part of someone locked out very well. The guy just wandered around asking to borrow a phone and did NOT give a good reason to need to make a call. SKEWED RESULTS! I'm rating it 1 star for perpetuating a disgusting stereotype in a misleading manner.

This is why Australia is the best :)

Liked the part when male asks to borrow a phone from British women.. It is safe to assume that there are more vixens in Britan compared to dodgy men.

8:30 the man telling women 'his phone died can i burrow yours' can be misconstrued as a cheesy pick up line

@computersolutions164 Yeah I know that about Franklin. I just wanted to know if I was interpreting it correctly that Wiseman actually called him a president. Last time I checked he wasn't an American president... as you already stated.

the last one didn't really seem to me like a very valid experiment... :s

I just looked up the Franklin Effect and it seems it was Benjamin Franklin who said that--- which brings up my question... Did Wiseman call Benjamin Franklin a former "president" at 4:32?

@ShadowMosesGreen He was not a U.S President but he was a "Founding Father" of the U.S, which I guess is as good as being President as well as being a Physicist
Satarist, Printer, Polymath and Political Theorist - Brainy Chap, I think he also demonstrated the "Leyden Jar" and early capacitor (condenser), involving a key a jar and a thunderstorm.

The experiment with the phones is a bit off: the girl tells passersby "why" she needs to use the phone. By contrast, the man just asks to use the phone. Researcg suggests that people are more likely to do you a favor is you explain why.

@brokenbulbs Actually is is more likely if you phrase your request a a "command" rather than a "request" so rather than saying "Can I use your phone" which would illicit curiosity and suspicion, you might say "I need to use your phone" which is more of a "command" type sentence structure.

Isn't that room they're all sitting in at the beginning the same room they use in Dragon's den?
