Follow the instructions! NO PEEKING AHEAD!

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 with an Orange?

No choice when you have to start from 1-5, DKD.

But I really wanted a koala from Kyrgystan with a nectarine.
