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!
Tell us 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 may 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! Scroll further to the bottom...
This is weird
A bit more...
Did you just think about a red hammer ? 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.

Re: ARE YOU IN THE 2% OR THE 98% MAJORITY
Found this response online: ---------------------------- This is actually a very simple trick often used to defraud investors in the stock market.
Hammer is a most commonly used tool. Google count for the word hammer is about 3 million as opposed to 0.5 million for the wrench and screwdriver. Red is the most commonly referred color (google about 60M compare to 40M for blue or green). It means a large chunk of population, something like 30% (not 98%) is going to choose the 'red hammer' simply because it's the most common combination. Some large number is going to choose just red or just hammer, getting a 'close' answer. Those who guess correctly, forward the message, those who don't discard it. Thus, then you get the message it has a long history of 'right' guesses making you believe that there is something to it. But in reality is just a rule of big numbers.
----------------- I got Blue hammer, btw.
