Try This You Will Be Amazed....i Hope!!!

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, 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

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?:wah:

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.

How did you get on guys????

;)

I thought of a blue saw............I am abnormal........

Why would you think of a red hammer?

Well I thought of a hammer, but grey ---------- I wonder why that was :wah: :-5

I suppose that makes me just a bit abnormal - but grey ! That's got to mean something I'm sure, cos I love bright colours !

Why would you think of a red hammer?

Possibly because 'hammer' is the first tool that comes to mind, and red is probably the most popular colour !

I think the fact that some people do not actually follow the 'norm' just means that those few are probably better at 'lateral' thinking, and also prefer to 'break away' from the accepted 'norm' just to be a little different - not be the same as everybody else !

I remember when I was in primary school, and it was just after the famous Goose Fair week in Nottingham. The teacher asked us to right about a 'roundabout'. ( I was about 8 years old at the time.). So I thought to myself that everybody would write about the 'waltzers' or the 'gallopers' at the fair, so I decided for the sake of the bored teacher, that I would write about the adventures of a 'traffic island' ! (needless to say I was the only one in the class that did that !). For the sake of non-Brits reading this, in the UK our traffic islands at road junctions are often called 'roundabouts' !!! Just for the record I got 9/10 for my story - I was told that I lost a point for my untidy writing !!!! All sorts of things can happen to a traffic island you know !! :wah:

Hi L and M, thanks for that !

You don't give much away on your profile - I don't even know whether to call you sir or madam !!:wah: Don't know which country you are in at the moment ! Any way I can see you haven't been with Forum Garden for very long, so welcome to the mad house ! We are a friendly mob here, even though some are a little strange
