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.

Dudes, YOU SHOULD BE GETTING AN ANIMAL STARTING WITH K, A COUNTRY STARTING WITH D AND A FRUIT WITH O,. SINCE THE MOST COMMON OF THESE IS KANGAROO, DEMARK, ORANGE THATS THE TRICK, NOT RASPBERRY, TOMATO
