Woman 4 times more likely than men to give passwords for chocolate

> From The Guardian etc.:

"A survey by Infosecurity Europe (www.infosec.co.uk) of 576 office workers have found that women far more likely to 
give away their passwords to total strangers than their male counterparts, with 45% of women versus 10% of men prepared 
to give away their password, to strangers masquerading as market researches with the lure of a chocolate bar as an 
incentive for filling in the survey."

I think I have seen the results of this survey some years ago too, but the results are better this year.
