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, and you'll see how many people you know fall into the same percentage as you. Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2%. You'll understand what that means after you finish taking the 'test.' 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

















21

3 + 56


















59

89 + 2


















91

12 + 53


















65

75 + 26






















101

25 + 52
























77

63 +32

























95

I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly over..

Come on, one more! ...

123 + 5























128

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 have answered a red hammer while doing this exercise.


Anyone have theory on why this is...?

I was in the 98% by the way, so no, I'm not special, although some here my have a differing opinion.

Discuss, debate & enjoy.

Peace, eh. :)

Frack me, red & hammer. For real.

I must be one of the 98% of the deep down communists. Kinda figures lol.


Nice test hehe. Must have something to do with calculations stimulating the part of the brain responsible for socialistic tendencies, or something in those lines. :P

Lol it's precisely my program CCleaner that got a blue spanner lol

woot I'm special! :-D

:lol:


PS: why should I think of a red hammer? :?
I mean, what's the reason(s) behind this apparent common result?
Does red hammer represent something related to certain levels of knowledge/intelligence? :o

Freaky isn't it. :D

I love mind fracks.

Just goes to show how even your own thoughts aren't original. And that you can be lead down a certain path towards a desired result.

Ironically said, no
Literally said, of course yes


I highly disapprove such statement no matter how it's said though! >_<
Bush would be a better candidate by far...

@js

A tad, but handicapped people tend to get away with more, so you should be fine.

:P


I think it`s the law of averages... after all, red is one of the most "representative"/common colors and the same goes for hammer in the tools department. A large % is bound to pick the basics ahaed of some turquise color torque-wrenches. :D

Ooh, nice one. :P


@Jim: Bush is white. *sighs*




Anyway, I thought of Barack Obama, but only because I am kind of busy with the whole "Afghanistan Conference" 15km from where I live.
