Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can! Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of them ... really.

Now, arrow down (but not too fast, you might miss something).........

You're thinking of a carrot, right?

If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with carrot when given this exercise. Freaky, huh?

Send this web page to all your friends so they can see if they are part of the 98% or among the 2% of the population.

[aquariumfishguy]

I'm not sure, but I think the number 6 has something to do with most people thinking of carrots first. I is very weird, and I was quite shocked myself!

 

[Leopardess]

I said tomato...(Yes, I realize it's a fruit, but lettuce was next on my list)

Here's more:

This test is weird. Test yourself, but remember - The most important thing
is to follow the instructions very carefully and not to scroll down too fast.
Now, count the following easy calculations in your head as quickly as
you can. It might help you if you say the answers aloud.
Follow the instructions one at a time and as fast as possible.



How much is:













2 + 2?













8 + 8?













16 + 16?













Fast! Think of a number between 12 and 5.













Ready? Don't change your original number!













Scroll down!

















The number you chose was 7.


Strange, right?!?
