Perhaps not worthy of a new thread but we needed a new one anyway.  :P

-------------------

Just follow the instructions below:


DON'T scroll down too fast - do it slowly and follow the instructions below exactly, do the maths in your head as fast as you can. It may help to say the answers aloud quietly. FOLLOW these instructions one at a time and as QUICKLY as you can!


:


:


:


:


:


What is:


:


:


:


:


:


2+2?


:


:


:


:


:


4+4?


:


:


:


:


:


8+8?


:


:


:


:


:


16+16?


:


:


:


:


:


Quick! Pick a number between 12 and 5.


:


:


:


:


:


Got it?


:


:


:


:


:


The number you picked was 7, right? Most people confronted by this excercise pick 7 as their number.


:


:


:


:


:


Free will or synaptic wiring? You be the judge. Check out the following exercise, guaranteed to freak you out. There's no trick or surprise. 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).........


:


:


:


:


:


What is


:


:


:


:


:


1+5


:


:


:


:


:


2+4


:


:


:


:


:


3+3


:


:


:


:


:


4+2


:


:


:


:


:


5+1


:


:


:


:


:


Now repeat saying the number 6 to yourself as fast as you can for 15 seconds. Then scroll down.


:


:


:


:


:


QUICK!!! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! Then arrow down.


:


:


:


:


:


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

-------------------

Interesting.

I'm wondering if it is either me being strange or that you didn't do it quick enough...

*wraps metal foil around head* Now the aliens wont read my mind

------------

And CK, the instructions said "Quick! Pick a number between 12 and 5." so you must be really "warped" picking 3 :heh:

Nope, it could just be that those who do get it out of "luck" (me for example) make a fuzz out of it making it seem like it works on most people.

I'm beginning to wonder if they might have flipped the results...

98% picks something else and the warped 2% pick 7 and carrot...

I thought of 4 and carrot, so I guess I have a semi-warped mind.

Paprika is Hungary's number one vegetable...
We often use it as a spice, but it can be grilled or eaten right after getting it from the plant...
Our tomato is also delicious...

My results listed romantic twice... very inaccurate.  I'm one of those people that, when you see them, you imagine a sign hanging from their neck that says, "Don't touch me!"

lol, yet I did take some free hugs last year at school, lmfao
