Pick a number between 1 and 10 Multiply it by 9 If it's a 2 digit number, add them together Now subtract 5 Right, now map the result to a letter of the alphabet, where A=1, B=2 and so on Think of a country which begins with that letter. Take the second letter of the country and think of an animal which begins with that letter Think of the colour of that animal...

Yeah, it was like that for everyone before I fixed it. Weird site glitch. I does work a bit better when you can't see what I'm trying to make you think of.
Anyone know the trick where you ask someone to pick a random number, then tell them to do certain additions, multiplications, etc. so that no matter what they picked, when you're done, you can tell what they end up with? Or something like that? Someone did it once, and it took me forever to figure out how they did it, but that was a few years ago and after I read this it's been bugging the hell out of me.
HOW DID YOU READ MY MIND?! OH NO! MUMBO MAGIC! Hmm... so now can you tell me why I chose carrot?

It's what LiquidPrince's trick is based on: you multiply any of those numbers by nine, you're going to get a double digit number where the digits add to make 9 (except if you pick 1, which just comes out as 9 anyway). That's pretty much the key to all those number puzzle things - somewhere along the line, multiples of 9 come into play to streamline all the answers into the same outcome.

That one's pretty good. I failed so badly that I won though. I totally forgot Denmark was a country so I ended up with a blue ostrich in the Dominican Republic
thats all good and well, but how did you get into my mind like that?
my best guess is carrot is a 6 letter word, and now that i think about it thats probably why. and that also explains celery but carrot is probably more common
Odd, I thought of peppers. ya know... 666, hell, hot, spicy, yummmm.

" The sentence below it TRUE. The sentence above is FALSE. "
But that doesn't make a loop, does it? Those sentences just end up canceling each other so both of them end up making no sense... "
lol i really dont know if this looped or not... it was just some thing i remember posted somewhere before. i believe its just not supposed to make sense.

lol i remember messing with my friends at school with that. it works better if your there in person and have carrot written on paper. that way you can make them awnser quickly. but its still cool :)
