Of the
sixteen test I ran only two times did a subject get the wrong
taste. Most of the time the subject could tell the taste
even through they couldn't see what flavour they were chewing.
Experiment 2.
The
temperature averages for each gum and person are shown below in
Table 4.

The
individual measurements were written down in my logbook and then
I calculated the averages with a calculator.
