Are you the 2% or 98% of the population? This is strange...can you figure it out?
* 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! 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.

There is a math trick involved in this that I use on my classes all the time.

Should I give it away? Yeah, that came to mind, too, when I saw the mathematical function. | |

Me too! Yeah, same here. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

This is really weird. At the end of this you are asked a question. Answer it immediately. Don't stop and think about it. Just say the first thing that pops into your mind.
This is a fun "test" . . . AND kind of spooky at the same time! You'll be either among the 98% or the 2%. You'll understand what that means after you finish taking the "test". Now . . just follow the instructions as quickly as possible. Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the previous one You do not ever need to write or remember the answers, just do it using your mind. You'll be surprised. Start: How much is: 15 + 6 3 + 56 89 + 2 12 + 53 75 + 26 25 + 52 63 + 32 I know Calculations are hard work, but it's nearly over . . Come on, one more . . 123 + 5 QUICK! THINK ABOUT A COLOR AND A TOOL! Scroll further to the bottom . . A bit more . . You just thought about a red hammer, didn't you? If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who ha! ve a different, if not abnormal, mind. 98% of the folks would answer a red hammer while doing this exercise. i thought of the red hammer. freaky, huh? | |

This was kinda making me nuts, so I started to think about it and the questions kinda make you choose the answers.... lemme explain....
No matter how you slice it....everyone will end up at d=4...you can't avoid it..... so now that leads us to finding a nation in the world that starts with the letter "D".... how many nations start with D? I can't think of any other nation that starts with D.... There are only 4: Denmark Djibouti Dominica Dominican Republic How many people here have even heard of any of the other three except for the Domican Republic.... Not me... So most of us would be left to think of an animal that starts with "k".... Well again...how many animals start with a K off the top of your heads.... The last few steps are the same....obviously I thought too much about this.... I hope I didn't ruin the "majic" for anybody..... | |

You are forced to D because any number you think of that is multiplied by 9 is such that the sum of the digits is divisible by 9. When told to pick a number between 1 and 10, all possibilities have digits that add to 9. Subtracting 5 will always give 4, thus forcing the letter D. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!
