Well I knew what was coming (though I thought it was going to ask
about a vegetable and an animal) and I still picked hammer and red!

Here's another hypothesis to add to Doug's: Psychologists, the
contrary
(and possibly psychologically reactant) lot that we are, are more
likely
to send a response to TIPS if we didn't say red hammer (I, for
example,
said blue hammer) than if we did while the average person is more
likely
to forward the message on to all their friends and neighbors if they
did
think of a red hammer.

I now have an alternative hypothesis that most people who do not
answer
Red Hammer think the e-mail is silly and hit delete while those who do
think Red Hammer are amazed and promptly respond and forward.
