Default Mind game.....

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!


1. Think of a number from 1 to 10






2. Multiply that number by 9





3. If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together




4. Now subtract 5




5. Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with (example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c,etc.)




6. Think of a country that starts with that letter




7. Remember the last letter of the name of that country




8. Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter




9. Remember the last letter in the name of that animal




10. Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter





















Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?


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.

glenda, that is SO weird!
i was thinking the exact same thing! ... then i went back to try to "trick" the game ...
and there aren't many options b/c all #s from 1-10, when multiplied by 9, then add the digits together = 9.
pretty neat though!
are there any other countries that start w/ D?

Thanks! There was a really good card game that I had sent to me last year that really had me stumped for a while until DH figured it out. I'm not sure if I still have it saved though. I'd love to find that one again.

Talking Re: Mind game.....

OK here's a Good one!

THIS IS REALLY CREEPY!

Think of a letter between A and W.

Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.

Keep going, Don't stop . . .

Think of an animal that begins with that letter.

Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.

Think of either a man's/woman's name that begins with the last
letter in the animal's name

Almost there.........

Now count out the letters in that name on the fingers of the
hand you are not using to scroll down.

Take the hand you counted with and hold it out in front of you
at face level

Look at your palm very closely and notice the lines in your
hand.

Do the lines take the form of the first letter in the person's
name?


Of course they don't.......

Now smack yourself in the head, get a life and quit playing
stupid e-mail games!
