However, for the other two I ‘just see’ the correct answer. Is this common for other people, or do you have a different split?
For all three questions, the wrong answer comes to my mind first*. But especially in the context of expecting a trick question, I second-guess it and come up with the correct answer fairly quickly.
*In the third question, the actual answer “24” does not come to mind first, but the general sense of “half that number” does. My mind does not actually calculate what half of 48 is before finishing thinking through the problem.
