    Very interesting. They correctly guessed what I thought in two of the three tests.

    Weird test

    Any explanation?

    The only thing it got right for me was the tool on Test 3.

    Got everything right for me except I picked a different color for the tool. I can understand how test #1 would work; the others, I don't know. Maybe those are just the most common colors, vegetables, and tools that people think of when pressed to come up with one.

    I think for the first test, the way it is written: think of a number between 12 and 5, and not think of a number between 5 and 12, suggests that you subtract the numbers subconsciously.

    Whatever you do, do NOT type the words "weird," "odd," "strange," or any combination of the three into Google.

    It got carrot right for me. Don't know how, I don't even like carrots.

    The hammer test, the 3's and the sentences on top of them are in the shape of the hammer. Don't know where they red came from.

    I'd already read some of the other posts, so my immediate "8!" to the first question doesn't really count...

    For me, it only got 'hammer' right. But then again, if you're thinking fast about tools, hammer is probably going to be on the tip of everyone's tongue.

    the trick's...as far as i know are:

    12-5 = 7

    carrot has 6 letters.

    numbers shaped like a hammer (with the words above it).

    and the "click her to send to a friend" is flashing red.

    I thought of that possibility when I went back to look at the test, but why do people go 6... 6... 6... 6... carrot!

    ?

    I don't get it.

    maybe you just don't pick up on subtle hints...such as 12-5=7...the 3's were aligned in a way that formed a hammer...and the red was flashing above the last question. i think most people involuntarily pick up this stuff...while your mind just answers the question.

    i don't think it's a bad thing...hell, i wish i had answers that they couldn't predict.

    btw: asparagus and chainsaw are weird answers...but i don't know any man that would fess up to "purple" as the first color he thought of :D.
