Mind Game - 98% or 2%

 
  1. Think of a number from 1 to 10.

  2. Take that number and multiply by 9.

  3. If the number has 2 digits, add those 2 digits. If your number is not 2 digits, proceed. Example: If your answer was 12, add 1 + 2 = 3

  4. Subtract that number by 5.

  5. Find the corresponding letter with that number in the alphabet. Example: 1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C etc.

  6. Think of a country starting with that letter.

  7. Using the last letter of that country, think of an animal.

  8. Using the last letter of that animal, think of a fruit.

Are you thinking of a kangaroo eating an orange in Denmark?

If I guessed your answers, you picked the answers that 98% of people that play this game picked. The reason they picked those answers is because this test is rigged to make you think it's random and people would come up with different answers and therefore different starting letters, but no. If you do the math, no matter what number you start with you will end up with the same number every time. So everyone starts out with the same number and therefore the same letter which has a very limited number of possible choices for a country and one of them is the most familiar by far. ( See below for most if not all of the choices.) the same is true for Kangaroo. There are not many K animals. If you were mindful of your choices you could have picked something other than Denmark and been in the 2% that come up with different answers. It is so easy not to be mindful of our choices. Did you think about the possible choices or did you come up with the first thing that came into your mind? Something to think about.
