A little different MIND GAME

2% or 98%

Follow the instructions!

* 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. (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)

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?

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 a Camel eating Lingonberry in the Dominican Republic. ;)

The Kingdom of Denmark was not the first D word to cross my mind.

So did I Daniellef. This time we fit in the majority.

I've never thought about playing as a mind reader using this. I'll give it a try. LOL :lol:

That was cute and that's what I got. As I read I knew that 4 was inevitable so it kind of spoiled the surprise.

The question did not explicitly state that the number had to be an integer. Sometimes, I will randomly pick an irrational number, such as 4/3 to see what will happen. ;)

All the numbers between 1-10 multiplyed by 9 add up to 9 so the answer is always gonna be 4

1x9=9 2x9=18 1+8=9 3x9=27 2+7=9 and so on
