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
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.
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
Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions.

Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

Wife, adult son, and I are all 98%ers. Friend said a blue auger, but he stopped and thought about it first and is the type who would not respond with his first thought, so I'm discounting him. I will hijack his class of fifth-graders next week and see what that age group does with it.

Ran it past about 35 fifth graders yesterday. Only 4 were red hammers. One out of about a dozen sixth graders was. I wonder if there is something about age involved.

We were 25% red hammers here. I doubt it could be 98% ever.

You might get a greater than random amount of red hammers, but I have to doubt 98%.
