You are running a simple study to determine if time of day affects student test performance. One
  group takes a test at 9 AM, the other group takes the same test at 6 PM.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
