Are you
the 2% or 98% of the population?
Follow the
instructions.
(NO PEEKING
AHEAD!)
Free will or synaptic
wiring? You be the judge.
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). Begin
THINK of a number from 1 to 10
next
MULTIPLY that number by 9

If the number is a 2-digit number, ADD the digits together
next
Now SUBTRACT 5
next
DETERMINE which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the
number you ended up with (example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c,etc.)
next
THINK of a country that starts with that letter
next
REMEMBER the last letter of the name of that
country
next
THINK of the name of an animal that starts with that
letter
next
REMEMBER the last letter in the name of that
animal
next
THINK of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter
next
Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?
I told you this was FREAKY!! At least for me it was. If not for you, 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 eating
oranges when given this exercise. Freaky, huh? Keep this message going. This one
is actually fun sending on to others. Especially if you are among the 2%.
Forward it to people you know and see if they can determine if they are "usual"
or "unusual".
