Default 98%

Weird Brain Teaser for the day..

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'...
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








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 answer a
red hammer while doing this exercise.

respond with whether you
are among the 98% or the 2%

Green hammer. So I'm half normal and half abnormal.

Maybe its the weather. Most of us are picking blue. Or maybe nobody here is normal.

Holy fuch -- I actually did think up {Red} hammer!

Not really a surprise though, as most would tend to think of a color that is vivid before one that is not, and hammers and screwdrivers are probably the two most common household tools.
