They were asked, instead, whether they wouldn't mind spending an additional five minutes helping with research. The participants were led into a quiet room and asked to listen to a 2½-min. tape that they were told would be "rather dull...

In it, the party's host talks about someone's sick cat; she mentions her redecorated kitchen, the weather, someone's new house in Colchester and a vacation in Edinburgh that involved museums and rain.
