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! 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. Keep this message going. This one is actually worth sending on to others.
Let me know which one of you are 2% or 98% and I will tell you in which category I am in.
I am root. If you see me laughing, you‘d better have a backup!

Thought of a Delphin (dolphin) in Deutschland (Germany) eating a Nektarine (nectarine) (English translation in brackets) I guess I am a 2%-er or just a weird German ;-)

Hmm....Fibershark - Cow doesn't start with a "K" (last letter of your chosen country of Denmark). Maybe you meant to say that the cow was in the Dominican RepubliC...
But don't mind me, I'm just in with the 98% of NORMAL people having a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an orange.
I belong to the 2% that thought of a Koala and an appel.
It doesn't look that freaky to me, as this is a very easy trick. Just think of some letters and questions with only a very few answers. There aren't many countries with a D. And that number trick will always result in 4, no matter what number you put in.
It's very easy, but quite fun when people think you can really read their mind.
