This is strange... Can you figure it out?

Are you the 2% or 98% of the population? Follow the
Instructions.

NO PEEKING AHEAD!

* Do the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow.
* There's no trick or surprise.
* Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one
at a time and as quickly as you can.
* Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've
done each of them... really.
* Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something).

Think of a number from 1 to 10

Multiply that number by 9

If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together

Now subtract 5 Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds
to the number you ended up with (example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c,etc.)

Think of a country that starts with that letter

Remember the last letter of the name of that country

Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter

Remember the last letter in the name of that animal

Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter

Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?

OMG!!!!! That's EXACTLY what I got!!!!! How could they read my mind? LOL! :eek:

But WHY did we all get Denmark? Why not some other country?

And even if we all got Denmark, why did we all get kangaroo!?! Why couldn't we get kuala? LOL!

And then why did we have to get orange? I KNOW there MUST be some other fruit that starts with an "O!" :o

That is so weird! I think that I have done that before in a psychology seminar - but I might be wrong it was a long time ago.

You were ok till you picked the animal - I think that most would think of a Kangaroo as its more common heard but hey, you did have a animal that started with a "K"!
