  • How does this work?

    A co-worker sent this to me and right now I'm mystified. Take the test, see if it works on you then please tell me how it works.

    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 e-mail it around (including back to me) 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

























    3 + 56



























    89 + 2

























    12 + 53





































    75 + 26






















    < BR>










    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.
    Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2% and send to everyone, including the person that sent it to you.

    BTW I choose grey hammer so I was slightly off but I'm wondering how I even came up with a hammer. 3/4 of the people at work all said red hammer.

        I've seen a similar one in pubs, you ask the person a couple of quick, basic maths questions and then ask them to name any vegetable. For some reason nearly everyone says 'carrot'.

              Blue Hammer.

              Maybe because red is a favorite color, and the hammer is "the" symbol for tools?
              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                        Blue svensknøgle (can't be bothered to find the english name) - though, I'm glad that I don't fit into the 98 % - I prefer to be different
                        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                          Both "think of a color and a tool" and "think of a vegetable" should work in all different languages, but the "2%" mark is widely off, it should be more like 20%. I remember how a bunch of us (sample size was something like 50 geeks) used to do this at muropaketti 2-3 years ago. The only conclusion we could reach was that the whole thing was weird.
