Question Psychic Test

Psychic Test

This is strange...can you figure it out?

Just follow the instructions carefully.

Do the following exercise - it's guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. There's no trick or surprise. All that you need to do is 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 item.

Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something.)

1a) Think of a number from 1 to 10

1b) Multiply that number by 9

1c) If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together

1d) Now subtract 5

1e) Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to your number

(example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, 4=d, 5=e, 6=f, 7=g, 8=h, 9=i, 10=j etc.)

2a) Now think of a country that starts with that letter.

2b) Remember the last letter of the name of that country.

3a) Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter.

3b) Remember the last letter in the name of that animal.

4) Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter.

Answer in a couple of days.

The Official Answer

Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?
(If not then you are probably thinking of a Koala bear and eating an apple.)

An Ibex eating a xigua in Djibouti....

Of course its true, Ethiopian Ibex's are unforgettable creatures once seen, the xigua fruit often described as a small watermellon, is surely one of my favourites after visiting China and being a pirate at heart, Djibouti is the first country to pop into my head.






OK I really got the kangaroo in Denmark eating an orange.....

This is funny as it's what I really got. I had to google though to find a fruit that started with a x. If I had done this over a year ago my answer probably would have been different as I wouldn't have thought of Djibouti then.

Bad Math skills,

The multiplication by 9 assures that you get 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81 or 90.
If you notice, all those with two digits ads "magically" to 9 and if you substract 5, you get the "proverbial" 4 as the only result possible.
