This one more than likely wont work, but if it does be honest and tell me  You have to do this one in your head and dont change it halfway through! And dont look at the hidden bit before reading the whole thing!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so imagine I have laid 4 cards out infront of you face down so that I cannot see them.
They are the four Queens, and I do not know which one is where.
I ask you to pick either Red or Black.
(Chose which color in your head)
Then I ask you to pick a suite (If you said black, it is out of clubs or spades, if you said red, it is out of hearts and diamonds)
The card you picked was Queen of Diamonds

I had picked the queen of spades.
I would expect, though, most people would pick queen of hearts, rather than diamonds.

I would think the same too, however doing this physically 8/10 people chose QoD.

Funnily, I also thought heart would be preferred, and I chose spade. Maybe the explanations "(If you said black, it is out of clubs or spades, if you said red, it is out of hearts and diamonds)" somehow change the preference.
Now that I think of it, I didn't first chose the color. I read the instructions first, then determined you just need to choose a suit, and I chose spade. So it doesn't really count.
