Think of a Number from 1 to 10....

This is weird. Follow the instructions! NO PEEKING AHEAD! (From an email sent to me years ago)

Free will or synaptic wiring?  You be the judge. Do the following exercises, 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...

Now, 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 in the name of that country.

Think of an animal that starts with that letter.

Remember the last letter in the name of the animal.

Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter.

Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?
