Bloodseed
Ok, I found this somewhere and had it hibernating on my hard drive. What's the answer to this question:

Choose a number between 2 and 9.
Multiply that number by 9.
That new number is a two digit number. add those two digit's together.
Take than number and subtract 5
Then take that answer and find the corresponding letter (i.e 7 = G)
Find a Country that starts with that letter, then find the second letter of that country's name,
then think of an animal.

Think of the colour of that animal.


I'll post the answer later.

Jabba
huzzah! lame that i got the wrong answer but fleh. it was a fun, if very short game.
Grym

7 X 9 is 63, minus five is 58. The alphabet consists of 26 letters. blink.gif

You have to add 6 and 3 into 9 first before you minus 5.
MantaLord
I winz!

PS: I've done that trick in the past wink.gif
Grym
where do you get the six and the three from!?
MantaLord
7x9=63. The instructions tell you to add the digits together, then subtract 5, gettng a D. I also got 58 the first time... I had to re=read the instructions 28 1/2 times before I actually got it.
Grym
gods someone needs to rephrase that much much betterly...
MantaLord
Let's steal one of Rabies' whips and use it on Bloodseed!

Stealing is bad.
Especially if you steal me wizard's hat.
MantaLord
O RLY?
William the wizard
A wizard hat is like a pirate hat. Its awesome.

Wait what? Why not just think of an animal? Why go through all that?
William the wizard
Because Life makes everything Overly-Complicated.

The "quiz" is rigged. Regardless what number you initially choose, by multiplying it by 9 you are guaranteed to get a 2 digit number in which its 2 digits add to 9;

2x9=18
3x9=27
4x9=36
etc.

Since each sum is 9, and the next step is to subtract 5, you always get 4, ergo "D".

Next is to name a country that begins with said letter. Is there any country other than Denmark that begins with a "D"?
I don't know, but for some odd reason everyone says Denmark.
So then take the secound letter (E) then name an animal whose ame begins with said letter.
Elephant ( or Emu).
Then the color of said animal.
Grey.
This actually didn't originate in that video. This puzzle/quiz has been around for decades. I remember doing it in seventh grade math class (1993). Though our variant took the LAST letter of the country to name an animal, and the last letter of the animal to name a color.

So for us it was an Orange Kangaroo in Denmark.

Well except one smart ass who had an Indigo Kiwi, but he was the only one ( Oh how jealous I was of his outside the boxedness)

Hmmm. I think I killed the tread.

I'm sorry Bloodseed sad.gif
