And the graphics, they were good for the first 5 minutes but it was
worse than sub titles on an English film.

I would think it would be done like regular salaries. We'll pay you $1 per
unit of work, or we'll pay you $10 per unit of work, where a unit of work
might be either carrying buckets of water or writing limericks.

Um, perhaps. Not sure I'm parsing you correctly.
The point is that offering a larger sum to get the job done led to
lower performance (slower, etc) for tasks that require more advanced
thinking.

People paid higher rewards were simply no different from people offered
lower rewards? Or people doing such tasks who were paid lower rewards
performed better than those being paid higher?
The reward high or low was not at all attached to production?

The latter.

There was a negative correlation between reward and performance.

I've taught in classrooms that had whiteboards big enough to accommodate
something like this - it doesn't look to me like it needed a *lot* of
space, really.

Yeah, I know that. ;-)
But in seriousness... I could stand in front of a board for several
weeks and not draw anything this good. Man, those drawing classes really
paid off. :-(

Really? I've never seen one larger than about 6 feet across.

I thought that might be the case, but you've surprised us before. ;-)

Some people have a knack; some people don't. I couldn't draw like that
either.

Yeah, really.
In a couple of our so-called "warrooms", the entire wall - ceiling to
floor, corner to corner - is all whiteboard.
The two larger classrooms in our office in Provo are easily 25'x5' in
size.
But even in standard classrooms that I teach in (with 4-15 students)
typically have whiteboards that are the width of the room.

Sun Computers wallpapered their entire cafeteria in whiteboard wallpaper and
left markers all around the room. The only problem was every visitor had to
be taken out to lunch, because the whole caf had trade secrets written all
over the walls.
