Wierd are you in the 98% or in the 2%???

I just received this from a co-worker. Pretty weird.

NOTE: Try it... If you like.

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 makes you think 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.

OK.. 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 folks would answer a red hammer while doing this exercise.

If you do not believe this, tell the people on this forum and you'll see.

I said Green Hammer, I'm in the 2% what are you???

I guess I am in the 2%. I immediately came up with Blue for the color, but for the tool, initially a scalpel came to mind. Next was a wrench.

What is this test supposed to prove? I don't see how those math problems are related to a red hammer.

i thought of a gray elephant, because i was distracted by the lakers/suns game, then switched to a brown hammer, because all my wooden hammers have brown handles. red hammer? wtf? maybe in the old soviet union, but who has a red hammer?
