Another Cool Trick

[dgridley]

Do not scroll to the bottom until you've completed the task immediately below.

Complete the following little piece of mental arithmetic:

1) Pick a number between 1 and 9
2) Subtract 5
3) Multiply by 3
4) Square the number
5) Add the digits of that number together
6) If the resulting number is less than 5, add five, otherwise subtract 4
7) Multiply by 2
8) Subtract 6
9) Assign a letter to your number. A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, etc
10) Pick a country that begins with your letter
11) Pick an animal that begins with the second letter from your country
12) Think of the color of that animal....





































Oh no, that can't be right.
You must have done it wrong, because there aren't any grey elephants in Denmark.

You are scaring me.

That was nice.

Lets say the answer was already fixed to be 4 by mathematical calculations.

Probabilities of Countries from "D"

[Shane]

This is very very old, and every time i do it I end up with grey elephants in denmark!

 

[dgridley]

Yeah, I knew it was an old one, but so old, there are now people who were in diapers the first time who hadn't seen it yet.

I was actually quite freaked out when I saw grey elephants from Denmark.. because there are other options.

Weird.. but great find. :P
