Michael Fletcher Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 THIS IS A REALLY QUICK ONE!! MIND TRICK? (Or not) Have you ever wondered if your mind is normal or different? Well, do this little mind exercise and find out at the end! Free will or synaptic wiring? You be the judge. Check out the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. 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, scroll 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. Keep going. 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.

Duane Thomas Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 I thought "squash." Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedaddy Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 I think squash is OK Duane, it says that your a stable person. I'm surprised that I didn't think "zucchini", it the only friggin veggie you can grow in Wyoming. But, some guy says...... "candied yams", for instance. I think he's got some issues.

Liota Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Sad thing is I thought I'd seen the joke before. While reading, I thought "Hmmm....I think I'm supposed to say carrot." And there it was. I thought of zucchini before. Bad memories of garden veggies as a kid. Liota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
