BACKGROUND INFO 	
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This script runs code to run a simple Constant Sum Demo

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
TASK
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Participants are asked to allocate 100 points to 3 attributes of product X.
If the numbers don't add up to 100 after 'submitting' a warning is flashed onto the screen that
alerts participant to the fact that numbers don't add up (and gives them the current actual sum).
Participants can then correct the allocations.


If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Millisecond Software.
