THIS IS A REALLY QUICK ONE!!
MIND TRICK? (Or not)
Have you ever wondered if your mind is
normal or different?
Well, do this little mind exercise and
find out at the end!
Free will or synaptic wiring? You be the judge.
Check out the following exercise,
guaranteed to raise an eyebrow.
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, scroll 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 FRUIT!
Then arrow down.
Keep going.
You're thinking of an orange, right?
If not, you're among the 2% of the
population whose minds are different
enough to think of something else.
98% of people will answer with orange when given this exercise.
Freaky, huh?

I said apple too :D
I remember taking this in different forms on many different occasions in my life but this is the first time since I've become a regular toker that I've taken it, and it's also the first time I've ever thought of something other than Orange. You know creativity in the world is dying when you feed people a bunch of easy math questions and they all spit out the same answer! The solution?? Smoke more weed!
EDIT: well looks like nobody's gotten Orange yet so either my theory is bullshit or it is so correct that this message board of pot smokers is the very proof to justify it LOL :D

What is a Plantain anyways? They look like a banana of some kind, and bananas kick so much ass. Except for that Gwen Stefani song. Now everytime I eat one, that dumb song pops in my head.

Hard to explain a plantain! They havent a lot of flavor to them really...but I think they are good fried! They do look like mini bananas and are in fact I believe related...yet tasted nothing alike!!!!
I can't stand that Gwen Stefani song. I was so obsessed with Gwen Stefani as an adolescent it's sad. Now it's REALLY sad.:S5:

I thought of a strawberry, but its weird, when it asked ''think of a fruit'' I couldnt :P (its always like that when I'm under some kind of pressure, like trying to find something fast..)
But I finally thought of a strawberry, go figure..

i associate 6, with 666, and i associate that with the devil, and i associate the devil as being red... so there you go... apple = red, number 6 = red

I thought "kiwi", and then I also thought "grape" while I was reading it. Those mental tests don't EVER work on me... It might be because I knew I was being tested, and my mind rejected the test. IDK. Here's a fun game! I do it at bars to find out how smart and creative someone is. You need 4 "sticks" (matchsticks, toothpicks, those little drink straws, cigarettes, ect...) and a coin. Set them up like this.
|o|
.|
Ignore the period, it's just there to make the ascii line-up. Ok, what you have there is a "martini glass" with an "olive" in it. Now, moving only two of the sticks, reform the "glass" with with the "olive" on the outside. No fair moving more than two sticks, or moving the coin. I've seen people who don't know the "trick" solve it in under a minute. I've also seen people take 20 minutes and not be able to solve it without help. Once you solve it, you get this feeling of "OMG!, why isn't that the first thing I thought of!". It's fun! :bong:

To assume stoners are not clean is appalling...

it is disturbing.....almost every nonstoner ive tried this on with vegetables and carrots has called carrot
stoners minds work differently, outside the box so-to-speak
its great

With these sorts of quiz's it seems the additions are just a distraction to clear your mind for the final question. I don't think thinking of a number will make you think of a certain fruit. Like Slip said he always thinks of an Apple when someone says fruit, so the real question really is, whats the first piece of fruit that comes to mind. Anyone else think this is the case?
I said banana? What does it mean? Am i a certified retard yet? Or a government research project?
Fuck you government.
So really, am i a tard?
