Default Re: Almost scary mind reading game....try it

I got a similair e-mail a long time ago. It gave a list of addition problems and asked to think of a color and a tool. 98% of Americans say Red and hammer. The reasing is that the addition problems clear your mind, which makes you think of the most common answers. Hammer is the most common tool and red is probably the first color we learn about. This is probably the same reason the carrot thing works out.
