I have two brain teasers, one a website, one I'll just post below.

First the Website. Its a color test, and you're supposed to click on the color you see (not the word it spells). Its' a left brain/right brain thing.

Color Test

I did it once, and got a 66%, then tried again and got 100%.

You're thinking of 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.

Here's another interesting Brain Works self-assessment one.

You have to download Brain.exe, then take the test. I've done it numerous times, and I think it gives different questions each time. The assessment is often right on.

I thought of potato for the 6 and vegetable one...Why do people think of carrot? That is so weird!

Maybe the carrot one is to make us all *feel* like we think differently! :)

Loved them, Whoami. I also did not think of a carrot. I thought of the colour green..and went for Cucumber of all things???


Here's one I found in an old puzzle book..but the book does NOT provide the answer.

Can anyone help:


Punctuate the following so that the sentence makes sense:

John while James had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.

Kimmo

Here's a guess:

John (while James had had "had") had "had had"; "had" had, "had had" had a better effect on the teacher.

LLK (((((()))))))) must be a Canadian thing!

Kimmo, while it looks good...i'm just saying...what does it mean???

Spitfire

Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 05:29 am EditMoveDeleteIP
LOL - Canadian cucumber here to.

If you really did think of a Cuke , spitfire, that is weird. Maybe a carrot is American and a cuke is Canadian??

totally weird.

I think it just means that one kid used "had had" in a sentence, the other kid used "had," and the teacher liked the use of "had had" better. Which doesn't mean much! :)

WOW Kimmo. Well done.

It seems as if 2% of the population is here at the TVCH, because I thought of cucumber too.

Cathie

Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 09:22 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Another cucumber here, too...

Jan

Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:11 am EditMoveDeleteIP
OK so it's Canadians and Texans who like their cucumbers? Most peculiar :)

i must be truly weird cause i thought of eggplant.

Jan

Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:19 am EditMoveDeleteIP
And what colour would an eggplant be Ms Square?

Kaili

Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:20 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Hmph- I thought of an tomato then realized that a tomato isn't a vegetable so I switched to spinach. I think it's most common to think of carrot because when you read it, you see "Quick" and the first/most common veggie sort of close to starting with the same sound is carrot. I bet cucumber would come in close for being thought of. Eggplant? Well who knows? I think that's a personal thing :)

lol jan. i guess eggplant and aubergine stay on my mind.
