Hi Leo,
If you are referring to a string of ~30 alphanumeric characters, it’s a confirmation code for validation on MTurk that is generated (and commented on) in the script I gave your assistants. I report the two lines generating it here:
code = a => a?(a^Math.random()*16>>a/4).toString(16):([1e7]+-1e3+-4e3+-8e3+-1e11).replace(/[018]/g,code) code = code()
It is not a new PennController thing, I copied (and slightly adapted) it from https://stackoverflow.com/a/7061193
