I was thinking in succession of having just mentioned in my mind 16 as the
answer of 8 + 8, my mind was all set to say seven when asked to think of a
number between 12 and 5. Subtraction never entered into my choice. I think
it has something to do with the 'answer yes' communications that
salespeople use. They ask you questions that you would ordinarily answer
yes or agree to , then hit you with the big question of 'you would like to
buy this whatever'. I'm not a psychologist in any shape or form, but I
think the line of questions is leading. This is way to much thinking on a
Friday for me anyway.
Go Buckeyes !!!
