Okay, this is just weird. I'd love to know what cognitive process is at work
in this one!
This test determines human thought patterns. Humans fall into 1 of 2
percentiles: 98% or 2%. 98% think alike, and the remaining 2% stray from the
norm.
Here's the test:

Just follow the instructions as quickly as possible. Do not go to the next
calculation before you have finished the previous one. You do not need to
write or remember the answers, just do it using your mind. You'll be
surprised by the results...

Ready,

Go....
