A rather interesting email was sent to me today which I have copied below for your enjoyment. Mind you, after doing a quick Google search on it I found it less amusing but still a little freaky. I’ve cleaned up the formatting from the original email some. Also, this isn’t anything new, it’s been going around for a little while now.
—————————————————–
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, 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 d o not ever need to write or remember the answers, just do it using
your mind.
You’ll be surprised.
Start:
How much is:
15 + 6
This is freaky…..
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…

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.

This is very interesting. The image of a red hammer actually formulated in my mind half way through the exercise. Now I’ll have to go and see if I can figure out why this works the way it does.
