Math Quiz for You Just for Fun

You may have seen this email circulating. I had never seen it until yesterday when my husband's cousin sent it to me. Thanks, Judy.  



Directions:

Scroll down VERY SLOWLY.   Read through this - and finish each mathematical calculation before moving on to the next question - then post in the comments if it worked for you, and someone please explain why. 

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 have your friends try it and you'll see how many people you know fall into the same percentage as you. Be sure to indicate if you are among the 98% or the 2%. You'll understand what that means after you finish taking the "test".

It didn't work for me, but how about you?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 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

QUICKTHINK ABOUT A COLOR AND A TOOL!

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.

Note:  My answer was a red saw so I'm in the 98% .  Or should it be 49%?   How about you?  :)
