Via TalkLeft comes this meme from AmericaBlog. I’m not good with math, so I actually had to get out a pen and some paper. But I did it, and it freaked me out. Because it worked. Math doesn’t usually work for me.
Dare ya to try it.
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 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!

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.
Normal? Damn. I never test normal. Maybe I should try it again.
Weird.
I thought of a *pink hammer*!
What does that say about me, I wonder. And what is the reason for the near unanimous results? Why do folks say hammer, and red?
I thought red screwdriver, so I’m half normal. The rest of me is … screwy.
I thought Purple Hammer? Am I half out of my mind? Sounds about right.
Black Hammer. So I’m half crazy. Or something.
I thought of an orange screwdriver…
but maybe my subconcious protested the idea of red, since I’ve set the current theme of your blog to be “China Red”
Maybe there’s one that’ll subconciously get people to vote for a certian political party? Wouldn’t THAT be scary!
damn, i’m normal, i thought of a red hammer
Blue Wrench. I guess I’m gay AND weird. Lovely.
You know, I’ve seen this in a couple of places already, and so far it looks like only about 10% of people come up with the answer that 98% of people are supposed to get…
red drill
Blue screwdriver. I always knew I was weird.
red wrench
I thought of a red hammer!
It must be its the easiest thing…For those people who thought of something else your probably unique or just didnt think of it fast enough
