I've read that only about 20% of subjects who are hypnotized actually are able
to enter that comatose state we all see in the movies and hear about all the
time.  This depends on the skill of the hypnotizer (hypnosist, I don't know
which is correct) and the subject.  So I would believe that maybe 20% can be
compelled to do things they wouldn't normally do by suggestion.

Sure, since people who aren't hypnotized can fool a polygraph as well.  I
would guess that hypnosis may make it easier for someone to fool a polygraph.

There's my $.02.
