2% or 98% of Population?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?

Isn't that FREAKY!! If not for you, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. However, 98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark eating oranges when given this exercise.

Strange. I thought of a cat in the Dominican Repubic eating a tangerine

sorry i got a rabbit eating a tamarind in denver

Lol i got what he said, took me a while though, couldn't think of an animal which starts with k

OMg that is soO weird man i got a kangaroo in denmark eating an orage

im part of 98 percent

the key is if you choose the dominican republic or denmark. there aren't that many countries that start with the letter D (no matter what number you pick, you will end with the letter d). once you end up with denmark, there aren't that many animals most people would know that start with K... and likewise with O..

i also picked dominican and ended up with

a cow in the dominican eating watermelon.

and jumapao.... denver is not a country... lol, it is just a city!!

strange...i got a kangaroo in denmark eating an orange too! hehe i guess im part of the 98 percent...well atleast i am part of some kind of percent! its good to be in one of those hehe

I thought up Koala, Australia, Apple, but then realised that to be wrong so I redid it and got: Denmark, Koala, Apple.

My brain for some reason also came up with a secondary answer though, which turned out to be Denmark, Kangaroo, Orange.

So am I part of the 2%, or the 98%, because I thought up both answers at the same time.

Curse this severe autism!

EDIT: Oh, and me and my bro have already worked out that the test works because adding the digits of any multiple of nine will add up to 9. But you can change the letter by subtracting a different number.

And my bro has also worked out a flaw in this test because onec a person realises he is in the 98% he will obviously try to get years and years of practice so that he will eventually endup in the 2%. And if a person who is part of the 98% is found to be in the 2%, how do the statistics work!?!
