Now... just follow the instructions as quickly as possible.
Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the previous one.
You do not need to write or remember the answers, just do it using your mind.
Start:
How much is:
15 + 6
3 + 56
89 + 2
12 + 53
75 + 26
25 + 52
63 + 32
I know! Simple but its nearly over.
Come on, one more...
123 + 5
QUICK! THINK ABOUT A COLOUR AND A TOOL
Scroll further to the bottom...
A bit more...
You just thought about a red hammer, didn't you?
If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who have a different, if not abnormal, mind. 98% of the folks would answer a red hammer while doing this exercise. ( well if you're american anyway!)
I'm quite worried, I thought of a brown hoe !

You are weird, Scott. White is not a colour and a nail is not a tool! :p

Orange Triton WC! I don't own one anymore, but I was just reading a thread about tritons. Just goes to show that 98% of Americans must be very unimaginative.;)

I thought "Hammer" first, then thought my hammer is red, so I said "Red"
If my hammer was yellow I would have said yellow...
and I'm N O T American, so why do most people choose this answer?
OK JackRuss, Why is it so???

Anywhere between $5,000 and $12,000, depending on specifications such as;
single phase or three phase
scoring unit or not
outrigger or not
sliding table length
rip capacity
provision for dado tooling, etc.
Wanna catalogue? PM me.:D
