MIND TRICK (Or not)

Have you ever wondered if your mind is normal? Well, do this
little mind exercise and find out if you are different!!

Free will or synoptic wiring? You be the judge, guaranteed to
raise an eyebrow.

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.

Freaky, huh?

Now for the really weird part. I am in the 2% that didn't say carrot. But I said Squash just like brilt did. Isn't that even weirder? Honest, I have no reason to lie or pull your leg.

I said elephant. I thought elephants were vegetables but Robin said they were fruits..... Or she said I was a fruit, I'm not exactly sure.

The moral of the story is never take the test when you are still sorta hungover/dingy from the night before.

I actually thought of Tomato after my mental block but had to disregard it because it is a fruit. I believe anything with seeds is a fruit? Which brings us to... What is a seedless cucumber?

Sterile....

bu dum dum tish..... :p
