This is strange...can you figure it out? Are you the 2% or 98% of the population? Just follow these instructions and answer the questions one at a time as quick as you can! Don't advance until you've answered the question. NO PEEKING.

Let's begin:

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?

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. Try it out on someone else and see if they can figure it out.

Whoa. Awesome. But there aren't a whole lot of other countries with names that start with a "D." Djibouti is the only other one I can think of right now.

The number 9 is the real key, since all multiples of 9 have sums that when both digits are added equal 9 as well.

A Koala in Denmark eating an Apple. Yes! I'm different.

Regardless of what number you choose, the result will always be 4 or D.

Like BBQ says, the obvious choice would always be Denmark.

The most popular answer would then be Kangaroo, but I chose koala. :grin:

The only fruit that people will think of that starts with "O" is orange.
