Dont read the last line until you have buzzed thru the math part--its freaky


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 even 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 + 5 2




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.

i don't get it, do u add the 1st answer 2 da second answer :S

I must be colorblind, I thought of a green hammer.

Well I came up with a "green" "wrench".

But the test may have been spoiled ....

I was trying to figure out how to handle a binary operator with only one operand. (ie "82 + ")....

Then I was trying to figure out how to handle two operands with no operator (ie "25+5 2")

edit: It seems like the goal of the test is to revert the brain to a simple state.  Basically in order to get you to immediatly think of simple concepts like "red" "hammer" it asks you to do simple math.  For a lot of people this is a very big change of pace as most people aren't asked to do this sort of addition ...ever.  I think you are far more likely to come up with another answer if you are decent at this sort of addition.

I did this test another time. Chrome hammer for me.

I thought of a blue wrench

ahh the price of copy paste i fixed the no number prob--seem to get alot of hammers here

I thought about red hammer really quickly... Odd... what the hell? Most likely because Red is the most sampled color and Hammer is the first tool people use. What was the point of this?

I thought of a green wrench....

Great minds think somewhat alike.

just curious--people tend to think gammers operate in the mind department differntly then non gammers--i was curious ---right now it seems to be true
