MIND GAME

2% or 98%

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

(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
















































Thi! nk 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.""""""

[B16a2 Civic]

i came up with a Anteater in Canada eating a rasberry

[Salty12]

I guess in i'm in the 2%, i got stuck thinking of a fruit that started with "N"

I did have a Salmon in the Netherlands up to that point

[MSTANGSALEEN]

[4dmin]

thats was cool but after you look at it, its a pretty bad word association since you can only pick a the letter D for country, K for animal, & ? for fruit

[green91]

im 2% also.. i thought of a koala in deuchland eating an apple

[tony]

I guess in i'm in the 2%, i got stuck thinking of a fruit that started with "N"

N being the 14th letter I'm just curious how you came up with that from a multiple of 9?

edit: i got mixed up.. i was thinking about the country and not the fruit

[4dmin]

1 x 9 = 9 ... 9 - 5 = 4 = D
2 x 9 = 18... 1+8 = 9 - 5 = 4 = D
3 x 9 = 27... 2+7 = 9 - 5 = 4 = D
4 x 9 = 36... 3+6 = 9 - 5 = 4 = D
5 x 9 = 45... 4+5 = 9 - 5 = 4 = D
6 x 9 = 54... 5+4 = 9 - 5 = 4 = D
7 x 9 = 63... 3+6 = 9 - 5 = 4 = D
8 x 9 = 72... 7+2 = 9 - 5 = 4 = D
9 x 9 = 81... 1+8 = 9 - 5 = 4 = D
10 x 9 = 90... ect.....

[ShooterMcGavin]

deutschland is germany in german...and considering there are only 4 countries out there that start with D (denmark, djibouti, dominica, dominican republic), it's not surprising that 98% of the ppl picks denmark out of that bunch.

[Tasuki_Civic]

easiest to remember.. I think the reason why 98% choose the same thing is because orange..kangaroo, and denmark will be the first thing that comes to mind.

[Tasuki_Civic]
