Mind Game .......... 2% or 98%
A little different.
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. Forward it to people you know so they can find out if they are usual or unusual

97% ?

I thought Denmark, Koala, Apple. Of course that was rigged. Funny how so many people think exactly alike. If you like this sort of trick, you'll love Darren Brown. Here's some clips.

I remember he had this one episode where he had a bunch of kids painting while their teacher was reading them a story riddled with subliminals. I don't want to give it away, but the results were crazy.

Damn right there: Unbelievable how so many people think exactly alike. Kangaroo, Denmark and Orange.

On the other hand, trick is well thought and designed to cut out most/all other possibilities. Impressive.

I wish I had thought of some exotic animal in Djibouti. To tell you the truth I even couldn't think of an animal starting with a K. I don't feel that well now realizing that 2+98 per cent makes 100, in turn meaning I'm a pretty alone stupid idiot. Oh, I wish I never scrolled down that quiz.

How about an iguana eating an apple/apricot/avacado while riding a unicorn.

Well, how about that... What that scares me is that you belong to big 98%-mass. Are you that many with such a weird way of thinking? Help!
