MIND GAME

2% or 98%
 
This is strange...can you figure it out?
 
Are you the 2% or 98% of the population?
 
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 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.
