Default Free Will or Synaptic Wiring? - 09-20-2006, 04:54 PM

Or a clever math trick? You be the judge...

1) Think of a number from 1 to 10.

2) Multiply that number by 9.

3) If that number is a 2-digit number, add the two digits together.

4) Now subtract 5.

5) Determine which letter of the alphabet corresponds with the number you ended up with (i.e. 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, etc.)

6) Think of a country that starts with that letter.

7) Remember the last letter in the name of that country.

Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter.

Now click here for my prediction:

My Prediction

Have fun!

John

I had iguanas in Dubai.

Does an emirate count as a country?

Djibouti is right and iguanas too.

the only letter is "D" (Math proof )
then you have the country :
the Common one is Danemark then the only letter for animal would be "K"

and the common animal is then Kangourous.


The beginner.
(Time to take some actions)

I think you're right, Abdellah. I tried several and it seems to come out to D. Anyone get another letter?

Nope. The multiples of 9, then added together always equal 9. So, the result will be 4 or "D".
