# Sort small objects into containers

$6/h for approved video; work and earnings are not guaranteed

Sort 6-8 mixed small objects into two containers by color or type, then tip them back into one pile. One round per clip.

**Start:** 6-8 small objects of two kinds mixed in a pile, next to two empty containers.

**Record:** Point at the container for each kind. Move the objects one at a time into the right container and pause for a second. Then tip both containers back into one pile.

**Done when:** The containers are empty again and the objects are in one pile.

**Also counts:** Coins, buttons, screws, beads, pasta or bottle caps; sorting by color, size or type; bowls, cups or boxes. Send as many clips as you like, changing the objects or the rule each time.

**How:** phone on your head (not on your chest or in your hand), both hands free and in view the whole time, good light. One continuous clip of one complete round, about 10-60 sec (max 90 sec). Start recording a few seconds before you begin and stop a few seconds after you finish. Keep the app open until it uploads. Keep faces and documents out of view.

**Can be declined if:** not first-person, phone held in a hand, hands out of view, the start or the result not visible, the round not finished, or too dark or blurry.
