A trick that inevitably won't work.

Okay people...

Think of a number between 1 and 10.

Now multiply it by 9.

Whatever your answer is, add the two figures together to hopefully get a single figure - e.g. If your answer was 23, then 2 + 3 = 5 etc.

Now subtract 5 from this latest number.

Whatever number you're now left with, assign it a number - e.g. 1=A 2=B 3=C etc.

Now think of a country that begins with that letter.

Now take the second letter of that country and think of an animal that begins with THAT letter.

Think of the colour of that animal.

And...








Wait for it...

The reason that this works is that every multiple of nine below 90 has digits that add up to nine. Therefore, all "randomness" generated by letting someone "pick" a number between 1 and 10 is irrelevant to the result. Anyway, I end up with brown and yellow jaguars from Djibouti. wink
