I don't know about you guys, but if someone asked me to name a vegetable carrot would be my answer even without an arithmetic prequel.

Perhaps carrot (or cucumber) is just the most familiar vegetable in the human brain? Try asking some people around you to just name a vegetable without any warm up.

HERES HOW IT WORKS (MY THEORY)

THE FAST ARITHMETIC REQUIRES YOU TO GO WITH THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND AND NOT BE CREATIVE.

SO WHEN IT ASKS FOR A VEGATABLE YOU THINK OF THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND, AND A TOMATO IS A FRUIT.

THERE ARENT THAT MANY VEGETABLES AND VEGETABLES ARE NOT PROPERLY DEFINED, SO YOU THINK OF SOMETHING WHICH IS MOST LIKELY TO BE A VEGATABLE.

THE DEFINITION FROM WIKIPEDIA:
>The noun vegetable usually means an edible plant or part of a plant other than a sweet fruit or seed. This usually means the leaf, stem, or root of a plant.

>However, the word is not scientific, and its meaning is largely based on culinary and cultural tradition.

THEREFORE YOU THINK OF THE ONLY THING YOU KNOW FOR SURE IS A VEGATABLE WHICH IS A CARROT.

MOST PEOPLE WOULD PROBABLY SAY CARROT ANYWAYS, BUT THE FAST ARITHMETIC MAKES IT EVEN MORE LIKELY.

right, i'm no biologist or neurologist, but i have studied a bit about the brain and learning. your brain is filled with series of interconnecting neurons that form neuronal networks. information is spread out across multiple networks and associations are formed with pre-existing information.the more often these networks are activated the more efficient they become and the easier and more likely it is to access this information. the more spread out associations are, the more likely you are to be able to recall information. this, i am speculating, is why a good portion of people come up with carrot... why the numbers/equations and carrot are associated is beyond me. perhaps carrot is just the most easily accessed association to vegetable with the majority of people.
