Basically, this relates to a discussion (and a bet) I had with a work colleague. I’ll reveal more if I get a reasonable response:


At the bottom of this page is a very simple multiplication. When you page down please can you do the sum in your head and time how long in (approximate) seconds it took you to do it.

Please state the number of seconds then your gender (M or F), whether you’re left handed or right handed (R or H) and your age 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 20-40, 40-50, etc.

My mate has a book about this called "Brain Sex" can't remember the author but it's a classic text. If you can get a copy you'll learn a lot about how we're wired.

I don't reckon that you can draw too many conclusive results about left/right brainedness and masculinity/femininity from 1 question.

If you haven't got that book, get it. It's bloody interesting. I happen to be pretty much wired up as a female but my maths function is blokish. Also left eared/eyed, right handed.....a bit of a screw up as far as stats are concerned.

M A=28 T=7s RH.
