Everyone I've tried the 2-4-6 test on thinks really carefully, gets the right answer, and claims never to have heard of it before. It's really irritating.
Occasionally I try it on someone who isn't one of my mathsy friends, and they give me that look where 'The maths-witch is trying to humiliate me again' and get angry and defensive, so I give up because it's not worth losing friends over.
