    2% or 98% of Population?

    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?

    Isn't that FREAKY!! If not for you, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. However, 98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark eating oranges when given this exercise.

    Baba, evidently, the seeming diversity of options available were rather limited. Sortof like my oddly getting the idea when I was baptized that it was ok to question what came out in the WT. Evidently, I was wrong.
