Its about reading if a smile is fake or genuine.

That was interesting. I got 15 out of 20. What body part did you guys say was most useful? I had to think for a minute, but after replaying the images through my mind I realized it was in the eyes. Difficult to explain, but if you concentrate on the eyes instead of the mouth it was easier for some reason.

Guess the eyes really don't lie.

16 out of 20. I found the eyes to be most important.

Interesting. I got 15/20, which I suspect is about average.
I thought the eyes were helpful. But one thing that really struck me was the speed with which some smilers stopped smiling, and the appearance of their faces when they stopped smiling. Real smiles are a response to something pleasant, and there should be some carryover; some lingering of the smile, however slight.
