aeroplano Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 ok... some of you might have done this before, but in case you haven't, here you go...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, as quickly as you can, without peeking ahead!Again, as quickly as you can but don't advanceuntil 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 10Multiply that number by 9If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits togetherNow subtract 5Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you endedup with(example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c,etc.)Think of a country that starts with that letterRemember the last letter of the name of that countryThink of the name of an animal that starts with that letterRemember the last letter in the name of that animalThink of the name of a fruit that starts with that letterAre you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark when given this exercise. Freaky, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meng Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 aeroplano, my buddy on another message board figured it out....Here it is:OH! I get it! whenever you multiply a number by nine, its digits add up to nine! so then when you subtract five, you ALWAYS get 4. 4 will always correspond to D. and there are NOT many countries that begin with D...denmark ir most obvious one...given that, an animal that begins with k, (Either koala or kangaroo), but kangaroo is the more obvious one, and then the most obvious fruit that starts with o is orange...
