All right, here's the thing, it's not really a game for you, but it's fun for me to see if it works. :p

All of you think of a number between 1 and 10.

*PAUSE*

Got it?

Now I want you to multiply that number by 9. (Ex. 1X9=9, etc...)

If you didn't pick 1, which most people don't, then add the two numbers that you got together. (Ex. If you picked 3, 3X9=27, add 2 and 7 together)

Okay, got that? Now, subtract 5.

*PAUSE*

Got it? All right, you should have an answer that is only one digit. I want you to take that number and turn it into a letter.
(Ex. A=1, B=2, C=3, etc...)

Got your letter? Now think of a country that starts with that letter.....

*PAUSE*

Done? Now I want you to think of a circus animal that starts with the second letter of that country....

*SCROLL DOWN AFTER YOU'VE FINISHED THIS WHOLE THING, OTHERWISE YOU WILL RUIN THE TRICK*

What if I were to tell you that there aren't any Elephants in Denmark? :p If you did it right, that's what you should have come up with. Let me know if it works or not, I don't want to seem like a freak. :D

All right, here's another one, but this one's more of a brainwasher type thing.

Everything I type from here on out HAS TO BE SPOKEN OUTLOUD for it to work. Speak EACH (Yes, every 2, not the periods though) number aloud.

.....2
....22
...222
..2222
.22222

14, 18, 24



Now think of a vegetable QUICK!!!!

If you are like 90% of Americans, you picked a carrot. If you are like me, you picked something other than that.(I picked lettuce...don't know why) I love being original. :D

Hey, it worked!

The first one? Yeah, it's bound to. There are only a couple loop holes through that answer. And I'll tell them to everyone once more people have responded. :)

I didn't pick carrot... I did onion. :D

Cool. The first one worked, but I picked Celery for the second. Where did you find the second?

:moon: :moon2:

Even though I'm not an American I still picked carrot. Anyone else who didn't must be doing it wrongly. :p

...but I thought of 'Earthworm' and 'Denmark'!

I picked cucumber. The first one has to work as long as you're following correctly.

Every multiple of 9 from 1 to 10 adds digits up to 9. And Denmark is the only commonly known country that starts with D (are there any other countries period?). And as original as it sounds to use eel or earthworm, they aren't circus animals!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaactually, I picked Djibouti as my country.

Whaddya want? I'm a geek! :D

And for my vegetable, I picked cucumber, clearly showing that murmur *did* read my mind and steal my cheesecake. :p I'm still waiting for you to return that, by the way...... ;) But anyway, seeing as how I like cucumbers better than carrots, I guess it would make sense........would people think of carrots because the numbers are in a carrot-shape?

No way Danielle, this cheesecake is just too good. :p
And where's Djibouti?
BTW, most of us are geeks, and we still don't know. :D

Hmph. I want my cheesecake. :p Djibouti is a country somewhere in eastern Africa, somewhere by Ethiopia. I think. :o And there's also Dominican Republic (or "Republic Dominican", depending on which song you're singing. :D )..............aaaaaaand back on track....... ;) Both my parents picked carrot. Apparantly, I'm the outcast in my family......but then, that's nothing new. :cool:

Yep, I also put elephants in Denmark, but for the second one I went with what first jumped into my mind. . . which was squash! (Now I'm wondering, tho', if squash is technically a vegetable. . .hmmm. . .)
