Default Cool little mind trick

DON'T scroll down too fast, do it slowly and follow the instructions below exactly, do the math in your head as fast as you can. It may help to say the answers aloud quietly.

FOLLOW these instructions one at a time and as QUICKLY as you can!












What is:

* 2+2?

* 4+4?

* 8+8?

* 16+16?













Quick! Pick a number between 12 and 5.
























Got it?


The number you picked was 7.



Ready for another?
Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can! Don't advance until you've done each of them. Now, ARROW 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 10 seconds. Then scroll down.
























QUICK!!! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! Then arrow down.
























You're thinking of a carrot.

If not....
you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are warped enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer 'carrot' when given this exercise.

I don't get it. My first number (between 12 and 5) was 6. The vegitable was zucchini.

Don't know what that says about me...

I did 6, but I did it because I had a book a long time ago when I was little that said 7 is a very popular number to be picked at random.

Also, I did carrot.
