Four different tests which are bizarre but seemingly true.
1. Read the sentence below:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE; do
not go back while you are counting... not even one letter back, and
do not count them again. See below...
Answer below...
There are six Fs. The human brain tends to see the F in "of" as a
V. Rarely will anyone find more than three Fs in the sentence.
2. Don't scroll down too fast - do it slowly, follow the instructions
below exactly, and do the maths in your head as fast 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?
Isn't that weird?
3. Another one...
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 page down.
QUICK! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! Then scroll down more.
You're thinking of a carrot right?
If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are
warped.
98% of people will answer with carrot when given this exercise.
4. Read this message ONE LINE AT A TIME and just do what it says. DO
NOT SKIP AHEAD.
Pick a number from 1-9.
Subtract 5.
Multiply by 3.
Square the number (multiply by the number by itself).
Add the digits until you get only one digit i.e. 64=6+4= 10=1+0=1.
If the number is less than 5, add five. Otherwise subtract 4.
Multiply by 2.
Subtract 6.
Map the digit to a letter in the alphabet (1=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc...).
Pick a name of a country that begins with that letter.
Take the second letter in the country name and think of a mammal
that begins with that letter.
Think of the colour of that mammal.
Here it comes, NO CHEATING or you'll be sorry.
You have a gray elephant from Denmark.
And now what are you going to do with it??
