Boggle da brain

[Miah]

pink jackhammer :/

[Phydaux]

A blue spanner.

[Starfyre]

I think it might be different from language to language, as I said.
Hmm.

The word hammer is same for german AND english, though.

[Jackmn]

Five, red.

I realize five isn't a tool, but for some reason it's what I thought of.

[LLamaBoy]

Green screwdriver. No reason, just thought of it.

In the same vein, I recently got a similar email:

[Starfyre]

HAHAHAHAAAHAHA ^^
Fell for that one!

It didn't work when I pronounced 6 in German, but in English it worked

So I guess the other one is German only.

These are fun...

[einstein]

red trowel, and carrot.

[Phydaux]

oh, carrots

Like this stuff, try here >> Channel 4 - Mind Control

[Flamekebab]

for the first one - red, screwdriver.

Couldn't be bothered with the second.

[jordan]

actually, i got an email the same as the first that was in english and asked for the color and tool, so i dont think its a translation issue.  however, i dont think that 98% is very accurate.  i did get carrot, however

[Flamekebab]

I thought of a bean sprout..

[jimmy8159]

That's weird. I used to do that carrot one back in school and I asked someone it half an hour ago (before reading this thread). They guessed brussel sprout

[jordan]

phydaux, i went to that link, and was really impressed.  some of the shapes and stuff could be predicted, but i actually thought of the two numbers which were given.  crazy

[Iris]

red wrench.

wierd, the most popular tool posted here seems to be a wrench, not a hammer, including me. same-brain wavelength, perhaps? =) and how the hell did that guy get to know that red would be the most chosen color, just by using those simple addition thingies? darn! =)
