OK, I got that answer too. Why? That seems completely counterintuitive • to

This 98% figure, is it just english speakers, or westerners or what?

Dunno, but I'd hazard a guess that red hammer would be a pretty common
response even without the maths questions.

Common? sure. The alleged 98% ??? (no way to check whether it's true in
fact)... strains the coincidence envelope.

Unless its to do with social conditioning - lets see if the same answers are
gotten 20 years down the line now the soviet union has gone
(yes I know that the soviet hammer is yellow but the flag is red, and your
mind dosen't necessarily work in a linear manner)
- BTw I've heard this test before and so deliberately choose an incorrect
answer now. First time I took it I got ..... Red Hammer
