A Funny Cool Maths Trick

Here is what has to be done...

. Think of a number between one and 10.
• Multiply that number by nine.
• Add the digits of your answer.
• Subtract five.
• Figure out the letter of the alphabet that matches your number. One equals A, two equals B and so on.
• Think of a country that starts with that letter.
• Pick the last letter of that country's name.
• Think of an animal that starts with that letter.
• Pick the last letter of that animal's name.
• Think of a color that starts with that letter.
• Now think of the country, animal and color all at once.

This pretends to read the volunteer's mind for a moment.
The answer is --

"But there are no orange kangaroos in Denmark."

The trick is that for any number between one and 10 that is multiplied by nine, the digits always add up to nine. Doing the math correctly will always give the volunteer the letter D. Most people asked to think of a country that starts with D will think of Denmark. Similarly, most people asked to think of an animal that starts with K will think of a kangaroo. Finally, most people will think of orange when asked to think of a color that starts with O. Of course, there can be people who will not think this...but 98% cases it works...
