Carefully follow the instructions below and Junk Mail will attempt to read your mind and tell you your answer:
- Think of a number between 2 and 9
- Multiply the number by 9
- Add the two digits together
- Subtract 5 from the number you now have
- Convert the number into a letter – 1 = a, 2 = b, 3 = c, etc…
- Think of a European Country starting with that letter
- Now think of the second letter of that country
- Think of an animal that starts with that letter (This must be an animal – not a bird – so if you are thinking of an eagle think again!)
- What colour is your animal?
- Now concentrate carefully on your answers!
Check below to see if Junk Mail has read your mind…. comment on this post and let us know if this is the correct answer
Did you know…
10 out of 10
Amazing! It was right – how the hell do you DO that!
Yep, it was spot on!
just wonder how you got it right. amazing!
Your site is always interesting,quiz was great well done
Too easy to understand: we know since school and being 6 years old that the sum of the digit of any multiple of 9 is 9. Then Denmark is the only european country starting with the letter D – Elephant is not the only animal but the first you think about…
What about Dublin? and Unicorn?
Every number will end up at 9 so all answers will be the same after the first 5 steps, but well done you fooled me.
Cheerio.
You were close, Denmark was right, the animal was an Eland and its colour is light brown
How the @#&! did you know that, LOL?
Heel goed. Had it on the spot
Omg !!! That was spot on !!! wow
How ???
Spot-on. Im very impressed.
Correct.
O my goodness!!! This was quite incredible. How do you do this or does everyone in the end think of grey elephants in Denmark! Thanks for the entertainment, it was quite special. Thanks also for your great service.
Country correct but not animal. Was thinking of an Emoe. BUT how did you manage that?! Exellent way to pass the time.
Thank you
What about an Orange Orangatang from the Dominican Republic?
Anyone that knows the 9 times table will easily be able to see how you got them to get a 4 leading to the letter D.
Nice try!!
The calculation always produces the result “4”, so the letter is always “d”.
There is only one European country starting with “D” = Denmark.
The second letter will always be “e”.
There are only two common animal names staring with “e” – elephant and eland so you have a 50% chance of getting it right.
The actual chance of a correct “read” will be higher since most people would think “elephant”.
no way!!!!!
Spot on
OMG !! I don’t know how it got this one, I don’t think there even are Elephants in Denmark !
Incorrect: A brown ape in Damascus. Was fun though. 🙂
100% spot on!
Black snake in Estonia
Wrong I was thinking of a grey Eland in Denmark……
This is scarry. Denmark and the colour grey is correct.But I used D iso E and my an animal was thus a donkey. SCARRY, SCARRY, SCARYY……….
nope – a brown eland in denmark!!
Why isn’t English on the preferred language list. I accessed this and I now have to speak Serbo Croate or some such language as there is no opt-out.
Still love your publication, though!
Denmark and Grey is right but the animal was wrong I was thinking of an Donkey.
Close my one was a Blue elephant but in Denmark , well done !!
Dat was spot on. . . Its obvious tho.. good general knowledge
Sorry, that mind reading was WAY out……
Nope – A grey raccoon in France:)
No – a Tan /Brown Eland
Wrong answer…not a grey elephant. My answer was a black rhino. 🙂
100% Correct
How the hell did you get this one right????!!!???
It didn’t work i thought of a brown eland in denmark
Yes, you did get my grey elephant in Denmark correct.
I love to get your e-mails….It just lifts my day !!!!! Thank you and a very Merry Christmas to you all!!
freaky !!
I thought of Democratic Republic of Congo – Grey Elephant still correct though. 🙂
I thought of Democratic Republic of Congo but Grey Elephant still correct answer. 🙂
HAHAHA! Brilliant!!! I nearly choked on my coffee…
I was not thinking of a grey elephant in Denmark,I was thinking of an orange tiger in Estonia
no it was the incorrect answer I was thinking of a brown eland
Nice one !!! Expected something like this as Denmark is the only European country beginning with D. Elephant would also seem a natural choice, but I chose Eland, just to be different.
Keep ’em coming
Wrong:
My country was Dominican Republic , and animal Orangatan
