I've copied this over from BB where it was posted by Lord Farquhar (hope you don't mind mate 
) It's cool so I thought some of you would appreciate it...
NOTE: This is freaky.....you have got to try it!
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, see how many people you know fall into the same percentage as
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 ever need to write or remember the answers, just
do it using your mind.
You'll be surprised.
Start:
How much is:
15 + 6
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!
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% and send to everyone, including the person that sent it
to you.
