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. 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 do 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
















21










3 + 56
























59







89 + 2





































91







12 + 53




























































65







75 + 26











































101





25 + 52





































































77







63 + 32



























































95







I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly over..





Come on, one more! .















123 + 5






















































128













QUICK! THINK ABOUT A COLOUR AND A TOOL!
ANSWER INSTANTLY
























Scroll further to the bottom....

































A bit more...




























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.

If you do not believe this, pass it around and you'll see.

Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2% .

I thought of an Iridium 192 Isotope with a Half Life of three months.

As it's initial strength was 20 curies and it's now 6 months old, this means it's currently only 5 curies.

Time for another trip to Harwell.

As i work in a very scientific setting i must say i was quite impressed with this comment Flopp's. The term curies has now been replaced with the letters SI and sometimes referred to as becs.
You should probably keep away from anything thats this harmful to the human bod.:eek:
I wont ask where you come across such substances lol.

Ah i see the link now....your a DJ.....radio- active.Hmmm.:D

Hah ha ha :D

Impressed eh? So you should be, I am clever fellow and graduate from University of Tipperary with phd in everything.

But the truth is it probably has something to do with me lugging those isotopes in pots of depleted uraniam around power station boilers and welding fabrication plants to x-ray welds.

Then tell the welder he was a bit crap, lol

I was monitored for radiation for about six years and apart from my gonads turning into lifelike replicas of souvenirs from a holiday in Baffin Island I suffered no ill affects at all :)

Black Hammer.

Its all to do with Psychology.
98% of people choose either red, yellow or blue. These are the three primary colors and in our brains are reflex colors, colors we will think of first in other words.
As for the tool bit, again its a psychological thing, which would go back to early childhood days. Where as a child you might have seen say your dad with some sort of tool, something along those lines anyway...Been a long time for me..
