At the end of this, 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.

Fun Test...This is kind of spooky! 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.

Amazing test....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 need to write or remember the answers, just do it using your mind.
You'll be surprised.

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.

[sasman]

Yes Red Hammer !!!

[Helmetfire]

The strange thing is I also came up with that answer, but I HATE red, like hammers though!

[Steve]

I got a yellow hammer.

I thought this was something else:

Add up these numbers in your head and remember your answer.

1010
1020
1030
1040


Now repeat the sum on a caluclator.
Scroll down if you don't have a calculator, or just can't be bothered to do the adding up and want to know what a the fuss is about.

Most people add it up in their head wrong to 5000, The correct answer is 4100. I got it wrong 3 times before using a caluclator.

Interesting... I got a blue hammer. Did anyone watch Horizon last night?
