At the end of this message, you are asked a question.
Answer it immediately. Don't stop and think about it.
Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.
This is a fun "test"... AND kind of spooky at the
same time! Give it a try, then post your answer and you'll see how many
people you know fall into the same percentage as
you--either 98% or 2 %. Now... just follow the instructions as quickly as
possible.
Do not go to the next calculation before you have
finished the previous one..
You do not ever need to write or remember the
answers, just do it using your mind.
You'll be surprised.
Start:
How much is:
15 + 6
3 + 56
89 + 2
12 + 53
75 + 26
25 + 52
63 + 32
I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's
nearly over..
Come on, one more!
123 + 5
QUICK! THINK ABOUT A COLOR AND A TOOL!
Scroll further to the bottom....
A bit more...
You just thought about a red hammer, didn't you? !
If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of
people who have a different, if not abnormal, mind.
98% of the folks would answer a red hammer while
doing this exercise.
If you do not believe this, pass it around and
you'll see.
Please post which one you are. I was a 98%er!

Gosh Yaps, seeing you are in the 98% group tells me that, since I'm in the 2% group, I'm the normal one!:D I didn't know there were that many crazy people out there!:eek:

Yes, a red hammer.
Must be more to it than red--my favourite colour and hammer just about the only tool I trust myself with.

I am in the majority but still feel abnormal. :eek:
Wonder what causes you to pick red hammer anyhow? My favorite color is blue so not sure why I picked red?

Gosh! I said blue shovel!! I wonder what that means?:confused: I don't garden or work in the yard that much. And blue isn't my favorite color, but then I was just reading an e-mail from my daughter-in-law to be and she was telling me that she had decided on blue bridesmaids dresses. So that's probably where the blue came from...but the shovel is another thing. I've always known that I was abnormal in some way!:D

I sent this out in emails. One female answered a 98%, my male cousin was a 2%. I thought maybe it was a gender thing, but it doesn't hold up in this group. It was very easy for me to do the computations; was that true for the other 98ers? I thought perhaps it has something to do with the speed that you go through it. I don't know. I've never seen a red hammer in my life, but that's what I thought of. Actually I saw a red hammer on my screen. Did anyone else "see" an image?

I got a blue hammer....... does that mean I'm half abnormal? :eek: :p
That's really strange to...... because I don't think I've ever saw a blue hammer. :confused:

Yellow Hammer here! Guess I'm Aby-normal! But then again, I can do the Vulcan hand greeting with my toes and hands all at the same time. I should just give up.
Luckily, it wasn't Maxwell's Silver Hammer!!!

Blue hammer. As with many others here!! Blue blooded, are we?? I wonder why the hammer? Is it because it is the most familiar tool and the one we seem to need most often? hmmm. Silly, but fun!

Sorry Marguerite,
98% supposedly see a red hammer;) ;) ;)
But according to the replies on this thread, we're running way below the "normal" 98%.:eek: :eek: :eek:
Of course, we always knew we were a little odd, didn't we???:p :p :p
Glad to see you back from your trip.:)
