Are you part of the 98%?

Follow the instructions below:

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 t he 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.

You probably aren’t surprised to find out that I’m one of the freaks in the crowd.  I started with the number five (5) and wound up with:

An Armadillo in Dominica eating an Orange.

I still thought that it was pretty funny … and interesting!
