Are you among the 98%, or are you among the 2%? Part 2 |
|
Answer as quickly as you possibly can:
1+1 = ?
2+2 = ?
4+4 = ?
8 + 8 = ?
16+16 = ?
32 + 32 = ?
64 + 64 = ?
128+128 = ?
256 + 256 = ?
512 + 512 = ?
1024 + 1024 = ?
2048 + 2048 = ?
QUICK! Pick a number between 5 and 12
Did you pick 7?

picked 8. I'm sure it had something to do with all the 8s in the math problems.

Spooky.
I'm wondering if there's some sort of Jungian archetype involved.

as you can tell by my vote below. I guess we two-percenters are somewhat above The Subhuman (a little BOC humor that others will probably understand but not appreciate anyway, lol). :)

Which is odd, since my favorite number is actually 8.
I failed!

32. It's got special properties the other numbers don't! |

Symmetry, for one! Well, except for zero, and who chooses that as their favorite number? It's nice and all, but it's no eight!

but my mind briefly muddled with 4...
I think I must've multiplied it by 2.

37. I picked 7 and I know this one... |
|
If asked to pick a number between 1 and 10, 98% will pick 7. I guess the "5 and 12" fooled me.
I believe if suddenly asked to pick a vegetable, most people choose carrot.
