Ok, do the following, when you guys are ready, I'll post the answer. Be honest. Trust me, It worked for me.
And I'll try to explain why, afterwards.

Celsius
Another one to freak you out,

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, arrow down but not too fast, you might miss something.

And this is weird why? Multiply a number between one and ten by 9 and combine the digits and you always get 9.

Celsius

At first I got Detroit.... Then I realized it wasn't a county....................

Haha Oh well, that's still pretty cool. big grin

Celsius
big grin

Actually, it's not weird that you always get 9 at all, but only if you know a little basic number theory. In any numerical system- binary, hexidecimal, or whatever- continually adding the maximum possible digit will always yield a new number whose digits combined equal the original number. In a base ten system, the highest digit is nine.

And that is obvious if you think about it, because whenever you add nine to something, you are adding one to one side of the number, and taking one away from the other. So if you look at nine like this:

09

You will see if you add 9 you effectively add 1 to the 0, and take 1 away from the 9:

18

And then if you add 9 again you add 1 to the 1 on the left, and take 1 away from the 8 on the right

27

And so on, 36, 45, 54, always adding one to one digit and taking one away from another, so the two digits will still always equal the same number, where you started at.

So, as the question basically asks for a multiple of 9 at the start, that is the same as adding lots of 9s together. So the digits always equal 9.

must_kill_Santa
it works because you have to pick Denmark but if yopuo dont pick kangeroo you are in the 2% of the population whos mind is slightly different

Celsius
The INSANE 2% shifty stick out tongue

must_kill_Santa

I don't get it ... why do you have to say denmark if you have three other countries starting with a D?

must_kill_Santa
coz alot of people cant think of them

yerssot
so, this test just shows how stupid they are big grin

must_kill_Santa
no to see whetha you are in the 98% or 2% of the population with slightly different brains
