carrot and a kangaroo in denmark eating a orange. very strange kinetic, you have really come up with some good stuff here lately bud.

Rayder · Mar 4, 2003, 01:22 PM

I guess I'm special or something, I said celery as the vegetable, not carrot.

Ryoko · Mar 4, 2003, 03:07 PM

i said corn, but i don't think it's a vegetable. my next guess is broccoli

Boundzy · Mar 4, 2003, 05:01 PM

Veggie = Asparagus

An iguana in Djibouti eating an apple, of course.

***craig5320*** · Mar 4, 2003, 05:08 PM

damn I said carrot, that was weird

brc64 · Mar 4, 2003, 05:14 PM

I've seen this before. The reasoning has something to do with people associating the number six with the word "karat", as in "6 karat gold". Personally, I think it would work better with one of the more common karats, like 12 or 24. The first time I did this test, I guessed potato.

It's more to do with speed I think, It tells you to think of a vegetable QUICK, How many of you actually named the vegetable aloud because you were saying six aloud? Carrot is by far one of the quickest words to say, rather than potato tomato cucumber horse radish etc.

DallasStar · Mar 4, 2003, 05:56 PM

notice, it asked

1+5
2+4
3+3

(make sure to pay special attention to the individual numbers given in the problems above and their order)

The reason that people think "carrot" is that

1. *
2. **
3.*** === carrot upside down

5. *****
4. ****
3. *** ==== carrot right side up

u see?

that's the explanation my computer science teacher told me when he first did this to our class.

Also, 5-1 = 4
4-2 = 2
3-3 = 0

****
** ==== carrot

I thought of daikon, so go figger

~~craig588~~ · Mar 4, 2003, 10:48 PM

I thought of an orange, but I guess if I was paying attention I would have guessed carot

I read the thread before doing the quiz. Since I was biased, it totally screwed up my experience. Too bad, I was about to find out if I'm one of the regular people or maybe the chosen one

No problem, there's the second one and I find it more intriguing and even harder to explain...

wufong · Mar 5, 2003, 12:57 PM

First one I got 'carrot'

<<<spooky!>>>

Second one I got a cat in the Dominican Republic eating a tangerine!!

Q.What does this mean? A.Bugger the Analysis

Actually, the second one is even easier to explain. Because of the nature of the number 9, everybody is going to end up with the same first letter.

~~Asuka~~ · Mar 5, 2003, 07:09 PM
