Whoami | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:20 pm     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%. |
Whoami | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:24 pm     And here is an interesting mind excersise..... Have you ever wondered if your mind is normal or different?? Well, do this little mind exercise and find out at the end!! Free will or synaptic wiring? You be the judge. Check out the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. There's no trick or surprise. Just 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 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. |
Whoami | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:44 pm     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. Brain Works |
Tabbyking | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:47 pm     my daughter did the color/word thing as a science fair project when she was in 4th grade. she even discovered a boy who was colorblind! |
Kimmo | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:51 pm     I thought of potato for the 6 and vegetable one...Why do people think of carrot? That is so weird! |
Kristylovesbb | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:09 pm     I thought of squash for the veggie. |
Kimmo | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 12:16 pm     Maybe the carrot one is to make us all *feel* like we think differently! |
Jan | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 12:38 pm     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 | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 12:50 pm     Here's a guess: John (while James had had "had") had "had had"; "had" had, "had had" had a better effect on the teacher. |
Spitfire | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 12:55 pm     yikes!! |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 04:12 pm     Jan I also thought of cucumber, |
Whoami | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 05:08 pm     I thought of a carrot. I guess that means I'm rather predictable? Darn....gotta work on that.  |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 05:17 pm     i've had had had it with trying to figure some of these out! and i said, '6, 6, 6, 6,....corn!' |
Jan | Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 05:31 pm     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     LOL - Canadian cucumber here to. |
Jan | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 07:43 am     If you really did think of a Cuke , spitfire, that is weird. Maybe a carrot is American and a cuke is Canadian?? totally weird. |
Kimmo | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 09:52 am     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! |
Jan | Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - 09:55 am     WOW Kimmo. Well done. |
Bandit | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 08:00 am     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     Another cucumber here, too... |
Jan | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:11 am     OK so it's Canadians and Texans who like their cucumbers? Most peculiar |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:15 am     i must be truly weird cause i thought of eggplant. |
Jan | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:19 am     And what colour would an eggplant be Ms Square? |
Kaili | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:20 am     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  |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 10:22 am     lol jan. i guess eggplant and aubergine stay on my mind. |
