this is so fucked up...

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 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 endedup 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?

98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark when given this exercise. Freaky, huh?

ok... i think i've just discovered the trick... for a minute there everything seemed so surreal.

[mikeydny]

thats fuckin weird....

[calix]

nope... i was thinking of a dog in deutchland eating grapes...

[meng]

I'm part of the 98 percent.

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...
