BosGuy brain teaser

This isn’t quite a brain teaser. It is more of a play on words. Say this out loud rapidly several times and I’m sure you’ll get a nice chuckle.

Brain teaser: Stroop effect

I’m still away on vacation, but I wanted to leave you with my weekly “brain teaser” posting.   This week’s teaser is known as the Stroop effect.

Try to say the color of the words below, instead of actually reading them. You may find it surprisingly difficult, because the right half of your brain is trying to say the colors, while the left half is trying to say the word. This tests a person’s ability to concentration.

Last week’s brain teaser resulted in so many people commenting, emailing and tweeting me, I thought I’d try sharing this riddle with you. It took me a few minutes before I was able to figure this one out.

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn’t hit anything, there is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it?

Can you?

Perhaps you will find this more quickly than me.

I won’t lie, it took me a few minutes.
