This follow-up experiment went beyond the typical limits of what crowdsourcing tasks expect workers to do, as most crowdsourcing involves simple tasks that can be completed in short amounts of time. However, this phase involved repeated experimentation and analysis from the participants, which more closely fits the description of outsourcing (seeking work from an external source instead of an internal source) rather than crowdsourcing. This practice of outsourcing had two consequences: there was a much lower participation rate than phase 1, and the workers varied widely on the amount of time they were willing to spend with the simulation.
