another diversion----mind game

[Guest guest]

Spoiler - don't read unless you've already done or don't care about the

above mentioned mind game in Ramm's post.. otherwise..scroll down...

For those feeling left out of the group of 'special minds', here's your

comfort: this has nothing to do with 'special minds, of course, although

it's great fun (thanks, ). Like many mind games it's part trick and

part relying on common knowledge.

The trick is this:

It doesn't matter what number you choose, after you add it up, everyone is

left with: 9. We're just doing the table of 9 here:

1*9=9

2*9=18

3*9=27

4*9=36

5*9=45

6*9=54

7*9=63

8*9=72

9*9=81

10*9=90

All of which add up to 9. So everyone is left with the letter D.

Seeing that there are I think only 4 countries starting with a D (well I

don't know them all, if I missed any, please feel free to add to it):

Denmark, Dominica, Dominican Republic & Djbouti, it's logical to think of

Denmark. Of course, if you're from one of the other countries, this whole

game doesn't work anyway.. chances are you'll think of your own country.

Then, an animal with a 'k'.. well how many animals does the average person

know? Don't ask a biologist this question, as it probably won't work

anyway. More to the point: how many animals ARE ther that start with a 'K'?

Pick up your dictionary and you'll see the letter 'K' is one of the

shortest sections in it. So it's not a coincidence the LAST letter of the

'random' country was chosen. Of course we still have the kestrel and

kitten, but that's it for my dictionary (discounting kelp and kid).

So chances are extremly high you'll end up with the letter 'o', another

short section of the dictionary and again, no coincidence. Apart from olive

and orange, my dictionary doesn't mention any, so again, this must have

been a carefully chosen question.

All in all someone must have spent a fair amount of time figuring this

out...probably a 9 year old boy from the Dominican Republic who got tired

of teaching his pet kestrel to bring him olives and needed something else

to do

I picked a Koala Bear from Denmark eating Raisins. I guess he could have

eaten apples if I'd chosen the last letter from Koala instead of the last

letter from Bear.
