Are
you the 2% or 98% of the population?
Follow the instructions.
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.
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, 4=d, 5=e, 6=f, 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!! 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 Kangaroo in
Denmark eating an Orange when given this exercise. Freaky, huh?
