amusing test

  This is strange...can you figure it out? 

                                   Just follow the instructions carefully.

Do the following exercise - it's guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. There's no trick or surprise. All that you need to do is 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 have done each item....

          Now, scroll down

                   (but not too fast, you might miss something.)

 Psychic Test - Begin


 1a) Think of a number from 1 to 10 

1b) Multiply that number by 9 

1c) If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together 

1d) Now subtract 5 

1e) Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to your number

(example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, 4=d, 5=e, 6=f, 7=g, 8=h, 9=i, 10=j etc.) 

2a) Now think of a country that starts with that letter. 

2b) Remember the last letter of the name of that country. 

3a) Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter. 

3b) Remember the last letter in the name of that animal. 

4) Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter. 

=================================================


                        * Answer

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

                      (If not then you are probably thinking of a Koala bear and eating an apple.)

The Explanation! 

1 x 9 = 9 (so we'll have to ignore 1c) and use 9
 2 x 9 = 18 and 1 + 8 = 9
 3 x 9 = 27 and 2 + 7 = 9
 4 x 9 = 36 and 3 + 6 = 9
 5 x 9 = 45 and 4 + 5 = 9
 6 x 9 = 54 and as before, 5 + 4 = 9
 7 x 9 = 63 and as before, 6 + 3 = 9
 8 x 9 = 72 and as before, 7 + 2 = 9
 9 x 9 = 81 and as before, 8 + 1 = 9
 10 x 9 = 90 and 9 + 0 = 9

Thus we start with 9 - 5 = 4

             The 4th letter of the alphabet is 'D'. Most likely country is Denmark.

    Last letter is 'K'. Do you choose Kangaroo, or Koala?

Footnote

Other countries beginning with D:    Djibouti, or possibly Dominican Republic. 
Other animals beginning with K:    Koala Bear. 
Other fruit beginning with O:    Olive - unlikely :)
