Try This little Teaser

Post by Tomliner »

This is entertaining.It is an interesting product of basic arithmetic and I suppose logic

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


















































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 interesting. 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

That's because after all the maths your always going to be after a country that starts with D*. That doesn't leave you a lot of choice in terms of country, or then animal starting with K, or fruit that starts with O.

Garry what country did you come up with?

*Any number between 1 and 10 multiplied by 9 will give you a one or two digit number that when added together equals 9. Which means you'll always be left with 4 when you take 5 away from it.
