MIND GAME

2% or 98%

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
















































Thi! nk 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?



I told you this was FREAKY!! If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark when given this exercise.

I got Kangaroo/Denmark/Orange.

I got the same answers and so did my husband - but we each started off with different numbers.

The number thing was just to make you think it was random - any number 1 through 10 times 9, with its digits added together is a 9. Subtract 5 and you get 4, so you're led up to the step where you start with a D no matter what (unless you're mathematically-challenged, then answers might be different :P ).

I started with the number 6.7. Which resulted in 60.3, when multiplied which has 3 digits... and there was no if to go with this kind of number....


I think I broke the system.... :?

I also got Denmark, kangaroo, orange.

But I am from and live in Denmark so of course I think of Denmark.

Is there any other country that starts with a D? Is Dominica a country? :?

But a nice little mindgame.
