At least certainly classes of trivial decisions... but one thing I've noticed is a lot of people are taking their performance as though it reflected their intelligence or worth. Phillipa wrote "shameful" of her performance. It's not at all!
Part of the challenge is also the kind of "testing" environment presented. Seeing the time bar slip away induces some anxiety, particularly if you're already feeling nervous about doing well. I guess that's part of my "if you're calm" observation - the first few tries I recall a few trials where that bar slipping away distracted me from processing what was on-screen.
I wonder what someone from a slow-paced, non-technological society would think of the game. Would they laugh at it? Would they wonder what the hurry is to get the answer?
