Are you 2% or 98 %

I was 98%-oh well !!

Be Honest-No cheating!!!

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.

Freaky, huh?


I ended up with Tangerine

The math is rigged to give you an answer of 4, and there aren't many countries beginning with D, nor many animals beginning with K.

My first thought was Delaware, and I really had to think about why that seemed wrong.
