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 yyou'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 of 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. Keep this message going. This one is actually worth sending on to others. Forward it to people you know so they can find out if they are usual or unusual.

Life is soooo strange

LOL WTF IT READS MY MIND!!

I was thinking of 'Dominica' where an 'armadillo' was eating an 'orange' (Well i got 2 of them anyway

)

Cool - I was thinking of an Aardvark in the Dominican Republican eating a Kiwi fruit.

I thought of a cougar in the Dominican Republic eating a raspberry. Didn't think it was actually Dominica, lol.

Koala Bear in denmark eating rasperies! It took me ages to think of an animal starting with K and a fruit starting with R.

The numerical answer is always four. Therefore the first letter is always "D".
In Europe I suspect most people would think of Denmark first and the rest is obvious.... not many animals beginning with "K" and only one common fruit beginning with "O".
