Mind Game, its freaky... Options

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.



















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.

Thanks Preety, that was good.

I thought the same too.

However, the secret to this is whichever number you choose and multiply by 9 and add minus 5 comes to 4.
4 being D

Other countiries starting with D, can’t think of any other except Dominica and what are the chances of that? 2% !!!

Same with Kangaroo and Orange, not many animals start with K and fruits with O.

[preet]

exactly... as soon as you multiply any no. with 9 the sum of the no. will be nine and thus 5 minus will give four... will you believe i first thought of dubai but then to be different i thought denmark

[iqbal]

Preetyji , you thought right cos Dubai’s not a country.

[preet]

yes its not but when i was asked to think this is what came to mind first

[asad]

I belong to the other 2%.

thought of *Djibouti, iguana and apple

*(though don't know if its a country or a city)

[pozydhar]

Whoa, worked for me.

[ria]

I thought of a Koala eating an Apple in Denmark........where does that put me?

[Akhtar]

I got a newt eating strawberries in Antigua.

[preet]

Ria thats put you i guess in the balanced category... you are neither common nor very different...
Akhtar, you cant get antigua in any case because whichever number you choose the result is going to come 4 and you have to think about a country with D so A is not possible....

[rchhaparia]

[magic_din]
