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! and yes 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.
