A Quick MIND Game

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

(exampl e: 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

That was clever. Of course any number times 9 and add the digits and you get 9 and the rest is a game to drive you to the letter K because kanagaroo is the only animal most of can think of with a K and Denmark is one of the few countries that start with D.

It was all driven by that first calculation which seemed so innocent, but wasn't. The art of the con is still alive. That was fun.

Darn...I wanted to be rare and exotic in the 2%.

(I knew I should have stuck to my first choice, a Koala in the Dominican Republic!)

Joisey girl, I'm sure that you are already rare and exotic and part of the 2% and don't need the con to tell you that.

It's obvious you're somewhere between the 2% and 98%!

Sorry Fred, "the devil made me do it"

(Anyone remember who coined that phrase?)
