Desert Fox has a little shameless behaviour in the past

I think BJ waving his hands in the air played a part in the stoppage. Not that it was a horrible stoppage, just it should've been made sooner if it was going to be made.

BJ used the power of suggestion to influence the decision. I learned about this once in Psychology class. My teacher told our class to do the following.

Solve these mathmatical equations:

12 x 2= ?

17 + 7= ?

8 x 3= ?

16 + 8= ?

14 + 10= ?

15 + 9= ?

Once you have found all the correct answers, write down the name of a vegetable on a piece of paper.

I came up with Carrot, am I wrong?

I said carrot too

The point was he was using suggestion to make you do something. What you wrote down doesn't matter.

Unless most people pick carrot. lol
Quote:
Haha, I didn't say carrot, but I think the point is that he used suggestion to make us think of a vegetable
To continue on what I previously wrote, most people do choose, believe it or not, carrot! The reason why? 24 carrot gold. Your cognitive process is taking a shortcut. 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24, 24 carrot gold. Most people will choose carrot, although it's not 100%. It's the power of suggestion and I think B.J. waving his hands made the ref say, wait, yeah, that was it that was over. Thanks to those that participated.
