Locked up on me!

As a general comment I was following a guy into town early this morning and he was all over the show weaving around all the time, and braking when he didn't need to... at the same time I could see his hand waving around in the direction of the passenger with views of the side of his face when he looked at them... a very animated conversation... although he wasn't going quickly I felt it safer to stay behind him at a reasonable distance!

I got the people number right, and spotted the unusual thing... but failed to answer 8 of the stupid, needy woman's questions. She does go on!

This online test is rubbish.
The way the human mind works is in 3 layers.
Conscious Mind en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscious_mind
Subconscious Mind en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subconscious_mind
Universal Mind en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_mind

The conscious mind is what you use for new tasks or when learning to drive. The conscious mind is not that powerful. Every decision has to be consciously worked out as it happened and a logical decision made.
It is almost as though it develops software for the subconscious mind, which is far more powerful. With enough practice at a task, it will be passed to the MUCH more powerful subconscious mind and the conscious mind will only have to deal with things such as unhandled events or conversation.

The task above will not use the subconscious mind unless you have spent weeks or months doing it, therefore it fails.

I got 100% accuracy on counting red/yellow shirt counts.

However, I failed to press space bar for 8 questions!

Regarding spotting the Rabbit waving, I read a wonderful book on this subject recently - it's called "Did you spot the gorilla - how to discover hidden opportunities".

It locked up on me too. But I won't try to do it again.

I can drive very quickly round town if I have to, without crashing or even being frightening, rabbiting nineteen to the dozen. But I can't play grand theft auto for toffee nuts. Virtual stuff is far more difficult for people of my age than real stuff. May be different for nippers.

All I get is "please turn up your volume" then nothing.
