This little Jedi mind trick is kinda freaky, till you think about it a
little while.

Then it's even more weird. Just follow the instructions below:

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!!!!

Isn't that weird???
Free will or synaptic wiring? You be the judge.
Check out the following exercise, guaranteed to freak you out.
There's no trick or surprise. Just follow these instructions, and
answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can!

Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each
of them...really. Now, ARROW down (but not too fast, you might miss
something)...

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 scroll down.

QUICK!!! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! Then arrow down.

Keep going.

You're thinking of a carrot right?

If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are warped
enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with carrot when given this exercise.

Freaky, huh?
