A neat little mind trick

This little 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 5 and 12.




















Got it?




Now scroll down...



















The number you picked was 7, right?



Isn't that weird???
 
Try this

Look at the chart and say the COLOUR - NOT the word

This is a left brain - right brain conflict.
The right brain wants to say the color
while your left brain insisits on saying the word.
 
dang, why do you pick 7? that is weird, and it took me like 2 minutes of thinking to be able to say the color, i really wanted to say the word

You pick 7 because you have been conditioned to add two numbers together in the previous test questions, thus 5 + 7 = 12.
The whole process relies on the original instruction to carry out the calculations as fast as possible, if you slow up a little you will often pick a different number.
