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



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 ?



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. Keep this message going. This one is actually worth sending on to others. Forward it to people you know so they can find out if they are usual or unusual.

No matter what number you start with it will add up to 9 so that when you subtract 5 you get 4 which equals D. So most people will pick Denmark as there isnt many countires beggining with D. Then you will end up with K and most people will think of a kangaroo asagain not many animals beging with K. Then you end up with O which most people will think of an Orange as again no many fruits if any begin with O

Denmak, Koala, Apple

Edit : Edited to say, any of the first 10 multiples of the 9 times table add up to 9...so subtracting 5 will ALWAYS give you 4...unless youre really bad at math
