　　Questions 11-12 are based on the following passage.

　　For people with synesthesia, a condition in which the senses get mixed up, the number five may be red. One explanation for this sensory crossover is that synesthetes, people with synesthesia, are simply experiencing childhood memories and associations. Maybe the person played with refrigerator magnets as a child and the number five was red. Another explanation is that synesthetes are experiencing the result of some kind of cross wiring between regions of the brain. In fact, we have now identified where in the brain such cross wiring might occur. We have also determined that synesthesia can occur if the wiring is fine but the balance of chemicals that control brain activity is skewed.
