Wtf? I thought of broccoli because my mom is always trying to get me to eat it and I guess, for some reason, it was in my head heheh. That's kind of a weird test, what would happen if you think of candy (I actually thought of sixlets [those chocolate M & M immitations] but then remembered I had to think of a veggie.... /me is confused
 
This is really really cool.. I thought of carrot too... I wonder what the explanation is behind it... obviously the idea is that you get in a certain mindset and most people will end up with the same result.. It's just so bizzare.

Toolgirl,

You weren't english native, were you? That might be a clue as to why you didn't think carrot.
 
OK, here's another one I found, though this one is much less impressive simply because it's not as broad as a vegetable.

DON'T scroll down too fast-do it slowly and follow the instructions below exactly, do the math in your head as fast as you can.

It may help to say the answers aloud quietly.


FOLLOW these instructions one at a time and as QUICKLY as you
can!


















What is:


























2+2?




























4+4?




































8+8?






































16+16?


























Quick! Pick a number between 12 and 5.


























Got it?




Now scroll down...



























>> >
The number you picked was 7, right?




--snip--

Ok, I admit my first thought was indeed 7... though when I said it outloud I said another number because I knew that going with your gut was how you fall into the trap. The explanation I saw on the page with this posted was because you're used to doing simple math and most people will immediately see 5 and 12 and think either 12-5 (7) or 12+5 (17).










 
lesterjr: oh sh!t, same thing here. first thing that came into my mind was a orange. then i told myself that wasn't a veggie, so i then thought of a carrot.

weird...
 
heh, pickle... hey, it's kind of a vegtable.. i wonder how many people guessed cucumber, or cucumber derivative, heh....
 
lol.. first thing that popped into my head was gherkin. Then I doubletook myself and realised that gherkins were only picked ... cucumbers. So then I thought cucumber.

Spooky 🙂

Does that mean most of us have odd heads then? 🙂
