    Post Numbers game??

    This just arrived in my email, it reminded me of something we did at uni years ago, have a look and try it........

    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)........
