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.

Because most people don't know more than one country that begins with the letter "D"... Now how many animals do you know that begin with the letter "K"? Not many huh?

The only 4 countries recognized by the USA that begin with the letter "D"

Denmark
Djibouti
Dominica
Dominican Republic


I got an Iguana in Djibouti eating an Apple. :D

Sorry to take the fun out of this, but my minor is in Geography...

The first time I did this I think I picked Koala instead of Kangaroo.

Holy Crap! Man, 98% I really need to learn to think for myself.
