    Magic

    Quite liked this in back of local mag. Answer these as quickly as you can:

    1) Think of number 1 -10
    2) Multiply by 9
    3) add digits
    4) subtract 5
    4) Which letter corresponds? a=1 etc?
    5) Name a country starting with that letter
    6) What is last letter of that name?
    7) Name an animal beginning with that letter (1 word)
    8) What is last letter of that name?
    9) Think of a fruit starting with that letter

    Your answers are probaby:




















    Kangaroo in Denmark eating an orange or
    Koala in Denmark eating an apple

          Yep, apple.

          The most interesting bit may be after instruction 4 because any integer (1 to 10) multiplied by 9 and digits are summed will produce 9, so you always get 'd' as the first letter.

            Answer these questions quickly:
            • What do you get if you multiply 2 by 2?
            • Multiply it by 2 again
            • And multiply it by 2 once again
            • And one last time multiply it by 2 again


            Immediately think of a vegetable.

            Carrot?

                It wouldn't have worked for me either had I gone with Deutschland, which was my first guess that was immediately rejected and replaced by Denmark.

                  Try and do it in German. I got stuck.

                  Country begining with D is most likely gonna be Deutschland.

                  Animal beginning with D... Delphin... any others?

                  Fruit beginning with N in German?
