just a little game to try...

This little Jedi Mind Trick is kinda freaky, till you think about
it a little while. Then it's even more weird. Just follow the
instructions below:

DON'T scroll down too fast-do it slowly and follow the instructions
below exactly, do the math in your head as fast as you can. It
may help to say the answers aloud quietly.



FOLLOW these instructions one at a time and as QUICKLY as
you can!
