Amazing test....just follow the instructions as quickly as possible.
Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the
previous one. You do not need to write or remember the answers, just
do it using your mind. You'll be surprised.
Start:
How much is . :
15 + 6
3 + 56
89 + 2
12 + 53
5 + 26
25 + 52
63 + 32
I know! Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly over... Come on, one more...
123 + 5
QUICK! THINK ABOUT A TOOL AND A COLOR!
scroll down when finished.......
You just thought about a red hammer didn't you?
If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who! have a different,
-
Blue screwdriver.
-S
-
red hammer
-
Blue screwdriver too! Snap!
-
a red socket, not sure why...
*shrug* eat it 2%
Now where's the science behind this? i.e. how does it "work"?
or is red and hammer just commonly come to people's minds, or does the math have something to do with it?

American's don't say spanner? Crap, everyone at work must think I'm a complete idiot. They probably say "Oh look, here comes Mr.Spanner again" everytime I walk by. :'(

What the hell? I did say red hammer.

Yeah, my wife was telling me about seeing that video recently. Pretty funny. I doubt if it did any serious damage. That'll teach him to blow is flaming shots out before shooting them.

I think it's very possible that this group would be on the outside of this study. It's a DIY crowd.

Blue Hammer.
Maybe I said blue because of the BYOAC color scheme...
I guess my brain is "ABI NORMAL"
-
sorry... somehow I was thinking about my router....
and its silver/greyish color...
hammer is never in my mind...
I guess I'm also the minority in the survey...
(but good thing is... we're the majority in this form !!!!... )

You actually have to riddle wrong. It was suppose to say blue screwdriver, not Red Hammer.
-
I thought of a blue pliers.

first off I said funner as in more fun. and yes I know funner is not a word.
and secondly I deeply apologise for mentioning a fuscia hot glue gun wich I can tell so deeply offended your femininity and will enshure your hatred of men for life.

It's all good, m'man. Take it easy :)

DAMN IT, i read the whole question without doing the math.
-
I said black wrench.
-
The results definitely support the theory that BYOACers fall well within the "Abby Normal" range.

Wow.
-
2% ---my bottom---! Looks like you have them backwards considerring most people didnt think of a red hammer. I thought of a blue lepricaun, dont ask where it came from, I didnt see it say "tool" so I just used the first word that came to my mind ;D
-
blue sickle.
-
What does that make me?
Saw, DeWalt...so naturally, the color was.....
Do we have to split out the 2% even more?
-
Blue Hammer...
Me abnormal? Nah...Test must be screwy ::)
Xar256 ;D
-
Thought of yellow drill, but 99% of my tools are DeWalt, and I think they just look cool.
-
A Grey Circular Saw.
I must be thinking about cutting my cabinet.
::)
-
redhammer
-
red spanner. all i ever wanted to be was normal and fit in with the crowd :'(
-
Of that 2%... how many of us are abnormal (more so than normal)?
I said orange socket wrench... lmao
-
blue hammer.
eh
-
I REALLY want to not fit in... and knowing this crowd... it just takes saying you fit in to not!
-
i thought blue socket wrench
-
guess the test isn't as accurate as I thought.. ???
my whole family and email contacts thought of a red hammer when this got circulated through...........
-
yellow hammer
-
Red hammer. That's spooky.
-
red spanner. all i ever wanted to be was normal and fit in with the crowd
-
Like Zakk, I own so many Dewalt cordless tools I associate yellow with the word.
Have to agree with the others, BYOAC as a group is more tool savvy that the public at large.

Am I the only one on the planet who doesn't know what a "spanner" is without looking it up?

It's what those wacky Brits call a wrench, for the benefit of those who don't want to bother looking it up.
Buy a British car sometime. The restoration manuals require a lot of translation until you learn the terminology. A wrench is a spanner, the hood is a bonnet, the convertable top is a hood, the fender is a wing, the trunk is a boot...

Lemme tell ya, those Brits are almost as bad as the French! It seems like those French have a different word for EVERYTHING!
