Here is a test of how we tend to miss the obvious answer.

If I ask what is 16 + 12 what is the first thing we do with the numbers?

 Very good answer. But first we need to observe the number. We observe, recognise then read most people fall into the trap of just saying add them up.

not strictly true,
first we look at the question, do the math, ask ourselves wheres the trick, then seeing there is no trick,ask ourselves WHATS THE POINT OF THIS POST ??????

not strictly true.

by the lack of posts on this thread over a whole week, i think it is more accurate to say that we first look at who is asking the question, then decide to do something more important instead.
