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

I told you this was FREAKY!! At least for me it was. If not for you, 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 eating oranges when given this exercise. Freaky, huh?






I'm amongst the 98%

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

No, but I did think of Denmark. Not a lot of countries begin with "d". I guess I could have thought of the dominican republic or something. Very few people will pick 1 in the numbers from one to ten, so most people will choose a country that begins with "D" being Denmark. Then most people will think of kangaroos. I didn't, but I'd understand that most people would. I also understand that people will think of oranges when they think of a fruit that starts with "o", so the results of your thingy aren't surprising.

I gave Apples to my Iguana in Djibouti....

Somebody had already told me this one, so I guess that I'm between the 2% of the 98% that cheats... :heh:

If you want to know something funny, it also works similarly if you're Spanish speaker. No matter what number you choose to start, you will always end up with 4.
and hence with Denmark (Dinamarca), then you choose the second letter (i), and usually the name that comes to mind is Iguana, and then you take the third letter (u), and most people choose grapes (uvas).

Lol clever cheat!

I just did it in Welsh and came up with aardvark eating kiwi in China.

"Ch" is the 4th letter of the alphabet in Welsh.

What country that starts with "D" ends in "Q"?? I can't think of any.

EDIT: Nevermind, you said Iraq. It can't be Iraq. The name of the country must start with "D".

I guess since every number between 1&10 comes up with the #4, the odds are pretty good of those answers.....


....I'm surprised it's not something more on the lines of 99.99%.

Well any number that you multiply by nine and is a double digit and add those digits in nine, so that limits the choice options right there, to picking a plce with D, thus further narrowing down the selection options.

Cute trick though.

Well my first time that darn Kangaroo was eating a kiwi, then I had to look more closely at the last instruction, so I guess there's a not-so-brilliant Californian who can't read either Sharkie!
