BRAIN TEST
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 scroll 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?
If you didn't think of a carrot please keep your mouth shut.
