abnormal minds, etc.

OK, I got this from my ex, and it's FUN. It's also freaky.....you've gotta try it!

At the end of this message, you are asked a series of simple math problems.

Answer each 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 mention in the comments 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 on to the next calculation before you have finished the previous one.



You don't 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 people doing this exercise answer a red hammer.

If you don't believe this, pass it around and you'll see.

Be sure to put in the comments if you are among the 98% or the 2%. I'm among the 2% myself, but I'm happy about that, because as Twain said: "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect.".

Have fun!

What does it mean when you think of a blue hammer? Does that mean I am struggling to be normal??

LOL! Welllllllll...the people with whom I'm feeling a kindred spirit are (like me) in the 2% so far...or maybe it'll turn out to be more than 2%. We're SPECIAL! :)

OMG, I've done similar tests before and I am always in the majority. This time I pictured a yellow saw...don't ask me why, but that's what I pictured. Finally!!! I'm in the 2%. Wait...is that a good thing or a bad thing?
