15 minutes can be soo long. ;) I think my Psychology of Personality lecturer mentioned this experiment as well. Impressive how much the kids’ behaviour in such a simple situation seems to say about how successful they will be in their future life.
And they are so lovely to watch - especially the little boy in your upper picture. He is really struggling. ;)
