I got this email last year, Gr8cat didn’t copy it all. After saying to repeat the number 6, it says think of a number between 12 and 5.
Then it says scroll down, and it will say your answer is 7 right? THen it does the carrot thing.
I answered 7 and carrot. I was impressed until I thought about it.
For the 7 answer, you are doing arithmetic the whole way down, when you get to where it says pick a number between 12 and 5, you automatically do subtraction. Otherwise it would say between 5 and 12
For the carrot one, think about it. Everywhere else it says Scroll down. Right before it wants you to think of a carro it says arrow down.
I’m not sure what I thought of. When I saw the question, an image of an entire salad bar surfaced (the one in the Dickinson dining hall on campus, if you want specifics). Narrowing it down (because the question asked me to be specific), I chose the first thing that one takes from a salad bar: lettuce.
“Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the
impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be
the answer. I, however, do not like to eliminate the impossible.
The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it that the merely improbable lacks.”

I rand a list of veggies through my mind and picked…carrot. I don’t think it has to do with “arrow” because I was thinking of images of veggies and “saw” a carrot in my mind and picked it. You never know, though.
