I ended up in the abnormal 2% even though I got all the calculations right. Oh well.
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 e-mail it around (including
back to me) and you'll see how many people you know fall into the same
percentage as you. 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.

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.

There's an old magic trick like this. Through a complicated set-up you convince the person to choose the letters G, E, and D, and then tell them to think of a color for G, an animal for E, and a country for D. Then the finish simply exploits the fact that practically everyone thinks of gray, elephant, and Denmark.
There's no particular "reason" why it works, it's just that if you ask someone to quickly name a color, they often say red, and the first tool to come to mind is often a hammer. One can't tell without experimenting, but I'd say it's a safe bet that removing the nine pages of math problems would have no effect on how often this works.
Also without a source, I'd say there's a 98% chance that the "2%" statistic is made-up...

#27 I have learned over time to respect your opinion on technical matters such as this. And true since no source or "proof" of the quoted statistics where given we should doubt if they are legit.
From the various answers in this tread alone the percentages quoted already seem off a bit to me.
And since we can`t do it twice it`s hard to test the theory that the math is irrelevant.
