blue wrench and a tomato.
i've always known i was weird.

kollege_gal2000 11-10-2004 08:36 AM

I thought of a blue hammer and a potatoe.

The only reason for this is because blue is one of my favorite colors, and I absolutly love potatoes.

ariekitten 11-11-2004 05:31 PM

green wrench and celery. i hate celery.

Omg annoying argument with roommate:

His opinion: same percentage of people will answer red hammer without math questions

My opinion: no way, there is some thought priming in effect

Stiltzkin 11-11-2004 11:05 PM

Blue hammer, tomato.

Sources of self-selection sampling error:
People who visit TFP.
People who visit Philosophy.
People who visited this thread.
People who took the quiz.
People who chose to post their results.

The last one is the kicker, though. The 2%ers are more likely to volunteer their "unique" results than the people who answer with the predicted responses. So, yeah, while I doubt there's any significant basis for the 98:2 claim... this thread wouldn't be significant evidence against it.

I'd already taken the quiz a while back, so I was trying to remember what the "common" answers were... so did I guess "red hammer" and "carrot" because that's what I was trying to remember? or am I a boring red hammer using carrot eater?

Fate 11-12-2004 08:04 PM

wrench blue
carrot

guess if I average that out... I'm similar to 51% of people.

joeshoe 11-12-2004 11:34 PM

I thought of a grey calculator for the first one and zucchini for the second.
I guess a calculator is only arguably a "tool," but after all those math calculations...
and I hate zucchini

There are probably more potheads than not.

Jimellow 11-13-2004 07:21 AM

I didn't think of anything.. Must be too early.

I guess I can't exactly to it again either when I'm more awake, ha!

papermachesatan 11-18-2004 10:51 AM

1st one: sorta 2%; Red Screwdriver.

didn't take the second one.

Sen 11-21-2004 09:41 PM

98% and 2%.

Red Hammer and Corn.

sobedrummer 11-23-2004 02:17 AM

Yup... exactly what i had...
but really, i can't recall the last tim ei actually saw a red hammer.

yahway96 11-23-2004 01:14 PM

black screwdriver and squash
so if most of us are in the 2% does that make use normal and everyone else abnormal

Nazggul 11-23-2004 02:01 PM

Hammer, Blue and Lettuce.

Reese 11-24-2004 11:10 PM

Blue Screwdriver and Potato here.

I'd have to guess that the test stats are wrong, or TFP is full of abnormal people. I'm leaning toward the latter...

radioguy 11-25-2004 01:58 AM

2% for me in both..

orange hammer
beet

Excellent observation. Would you happen to be a Psychology major?

Tracybrian 11-28-2004 02:43 PM

Wow you all are soo00 unique
I misread the directions at first and was thinking about the word POOP the hole time?
Once I got to the end I came up with a blue hammer and a carrot.

oblar 12-14-2004 11:05 AM

blue hammer and cucumber.

they might have had me on the first one if they had said name a tool and its colour, because as it asked I thought of a tool then just a colour... and I like blue :D

i really doubt it is correct 98% of the time as well.

Guthumba 12-15-2004 08:25 AM

I thought of a blue hammer as well...

hiredgun 12-15-2004 08:48 AM

blue hammer.

Hal, it could just be that TFP has evolved our minds past the shallow "red hammer" stage. :P

munchen 12-17-2004 06:51 PM

WoW red hammer and carrot! good quiz. i wonder how it works
