* 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?
If not, 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 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.
Mine was a Koala Beareating Rasberrys in Denmark I am an oddball I guess, but ya'll knew that.
Uhhh, Jess? I raised an eyebrow, but not because of the result I got... More because of what you came up with.
Denmark - *K*
Koala - *A*
Rasberrys ??? (That starts with an 'A' ?)
Does the 2% include people who don't follow instructions?
I thought of Koala too, but put avacado as the fruit. I think Denmark is the only country that starts with a 'D'. I've heard the number part at the beginning before, but not the country, animal, and fruit part. Looks like I'm one of the 2% too.

Re: Fun quiz
I picked Koala, Kangaroo never came to mind
And for the place, I picked Dutchland...Denmark never hit me either lol.
As for fruit, it was "A-Mango"
Maybe that puts me in the stupid percent?
Or 1%?
haha

deutschland
yeh, i did deutschland too.
got a dog.
then couldn't think of a fruit with a "g"
the first part of it is sort of a trick - any number from 1 to 10, multiplied by 9, will have the sum of the resulting double-digit number = 9.

G... Grapes. That's a fruit right? How about grapefruit, or is that like a peanut which isn't really a nut?
Some of the previous answers don't make sense.. Either making up new answers after the fact, or just ignoring instructions, I dunno which.
Let me try to make it a little easier...
The first part with numbers, the answer will always be 4, which equals the letter "D". So from there:
1. Name a country that starts with "D".
2. Name an animal that starts with the last letter in the spelling of the country you picked.
3. Name a fruit that starts with the last letter in the spelling of the animal you picked.
Now look at what you two say you answered with.
-Answer for #1 should start with "D".
-Answer for #2 should start with the last letter in #1.
-Answer for #3 should start with the last letter in #2.
btw, what's an A-Mango? I've heard of a mango, but not an A-Mango.
Reminds me of the time I was watching Family Feud once. At the end where it's one person giving out 5 answers, one of the questions was "Name a fruit that starts with 'A'.
What'd she say?
"...I'll go with an 'arrr-ange'." (that's the phonetic spelling of 'orange' spoken by someone with some kinda accent)
Re: deutschland
I'm serious, I haven't been wearing my glasses for the past few days and misread that!
I've just started wearing them and after a while they bug me so I take them off. Guess this is more reason to keep them on... or at least put them back on when I'm reading something.
They're back on now, and what I said still applies to Nick's answers... unless I'm still missing something.
Re: deutschland
Naw, you just missed hitting the space bar once.. I should have put my glasses back on and took another look. I'm usually pretty good at catching these kind of things so my fault too.
Fun quiz
I am an oddball I guess, but ya'll knew that. 
So yea...I do follow directions
