1. 25% first time, 75% second time.

Ouch.

[mahina]

2. not bragging...

88% the first time and 100% the second time

I guess actually I am bragging.

[phylny]

36. Me too, exactly! n/t

[elleng]

3. 'distinctly below average!'

'pretty sharp' second time around!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Move over..........I flunked too!

I never do well at those tests.

NEVER.

[elleng]

7. Try again CalPeg;

I improved significantly, second time around!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Ah, my dear elleng...

I am actually very tired tonight. I spent the ENTIRE day in downtown LA, doing jury duty........and I get to repeat it tomorrow!

My fatigue really interferes with whatever small ability I might have to do these!

I *might* try doing it when I'm less fatigued.

[elleng]

16. Good idea to try again when rested.

What can you tell us about jury duty? Have you been selected, or just waiting and waiting? Considered and rejected for a few cases?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. I am in the jury box; today was our first day of voir dire.

It's a criminal case, and I fully expect to be tossed off tomorrow!

And if I am, then I can tell you about it.......

[elleng]

22. Gotcha.

FYI, I actually sat on a jury a few years ago, and was one of most interesting 'jobs' I've ever had. (I fully expected to be tossed off, as I'm an attorney, but they kept me!)

[CTyankee]

40. hey, I got tossed early from a drunk driving case because my son is a prosecutor

and I had an alcoholic brother. I thought the experience was very interesting, actually, and I enjoyed the learning process. I thought it would be pretty awful but the whole procedure made sense to me.

[silverweb]

5. That was fun!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Flubbed the first few and only got 88%.

By the 2nd go-round, I had the hang of blanking out the letters and not reading the word, but ONLY looking at the color of the word.

[immoderate]

9. It helped me to say the color of the word. I got 100%...

...on the second try, 38% on the first.

[silverweb]

20. Very interesting.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]The trick seems to be in consciously redirecting the brain to do what is not automatic (i.e., read the words in front of us).

Good job!

[loyalsister]

6. The "Stroop Effect"

I did some research on this when I was in college. Still got 25%.

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. I am the Master. 88% on the second try. n/t

[cthulu2016]

11. 0% the first time. 100% the second time.

I obviously read the instructions without internalizing them... not thinking through what I would be doing.

The second time I only looked at the top left corner of the first letter of each word and said (silently) "what color is this?"

[tabatha]

26. That is exactly what I got, 0 then 100.

I understood the instructions the second time DUH

[Ship of Fools]

35. Moi aussi.

[Confusious]

12. whoop! 88% first try

the mind is almost in balance.

[Webster Green]

13. Took me 4 tries to get up to 88%

I got zero on the first try. Pretty much just watched it going WTF.

[cherokeeprogressive]

14. Advice... SLOW DOWN. There is more time than you think.

And don't mouse over the buttons, it changes their color!

[TlalocW]

15. 100% the first time

Am I a super-genius?

TlalocW

[sakabatou]

32. Same

[Son of Gob]

17. I got 100% on the first try and I'm here to brag about it!

[sabrina 1]

19. 'That was a shameful performance'!

Four times I scored zero. Kept repeating the same thing, clicking on the matching word to the color.

So after four spectacular failures I simply did the opposite and scored 100% but I don't have a clue what is all about. Just learned 'don't repeat the same thing over and over and expect different results'.

But there is no logic to how I got 100% other than doing the opposite of what got 0%

[bigwillq]

21. I am the master!

And I am a bit tipsy!

[Cali_Democrat]

23. I'm high

and I got 120%.

Beat that.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

24. The trick is not to read the word

First try 88%

(sorry- no pat-myself-on-the-back smiley. Try to imagine one...)

[gateley]

25. I flunked it three times in a row! nt

[Hatchling]

27. From 0% to 100% in just 4 tries.

I didn't understand the instructions the first time and then the next times I just had to keep slowing down. I thought 4 seconds isn't very much time, so I hurried, but it actually is.

[joshcryer]

28. 75% first time, 100% second time.

I've done these kinds of teasers before though.

[GObamaGO]

29. 100%

That was tricky!

[MrScorpio]

30. Did it twice

100% each time

[HiPointDem]

31. 100% first time. it helped to read posters' comments here then read the directions carefully.

but then it was easy.

[quaker bill]

33. 67% before coffee 100% after

[2on2u]

34. So they took a look at election 2000 and modeled a game after

the sabotaged ballot debacle. Heh heh. How colorful.

[seabeyond]

37. tried three times, then got a hundred. master brain or something. but, damn

that was hard.

funny

i love, thanks. i want to see how my family does

[HappyMe]

38. 100% on the first try!

[magical thyme]

39. 38% 1st time....100% second

HA!HA!HA!

First time around, I was staring at the color of the timer and got confused because it was ALWAYS red! I didn't even notice the word at the top of the screen!

[myrna minx]

41. 75% first time and 100% the second time.
