2011 freaky fact

[chilliblue]

In 2011 we will experience 4 unusual dates....1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11 and 11/11/11.

Now try to figure this out. Take the last 2 digits of the year you were born plus the age you will be this year and it will equal 111.

Cool - I love stuff like this.

At on Remembrance Day at 11:00... or 11:11:11 11/11/11

Take the last 2 digits of the year you were born plus the age you will be this year and it will equal 111.

Well, duh.

Try this: Take the last 2 digits of the year you were born, add 2 years, and it will equal the last 2 digits of the year 2 years after you were born!

 

[JoshyBoi]

Well, duh.

At least for those who think about it long enough...that said, my parents were still amazed for hours!

Do the test and see if I can answer what you are thinking of

Think of a number between 1 & 10.

Add the same number to itself.

Multiply that number by 2.

Divide by the original number you thought of.

Take the equivalent number of the alphabet eg 10 = J and think of a country starting with that letter.

Take the second letter of that country and think of an animal starting with that letter.

You are thinking of.................(answer below).



















































































Elephant from Denmark!

Elephant from Denmark!

Wrong! It was an Echidna from Germany.

 

[JoshyBoi]

Wrong! It was an Echidna from Germany.

How did you get to a 'G'? The result should always be 4, as you are essentially quadrupeling the first number and then dividing by the original number? Or did I miss your point

Hey Buzz,


Similar to yours....this is the version I know....

Think of a number between 1 & 10.

Multiply it by 9.

Now add the digits from your answer together.

Now take away 5.....

Now take the equivalent number of the alphabet eg 2 = B and think of a country starting with that letter.

Take the second letter of that country and think of an animal starting with that letter.

Think of the colour of that animal.

Are you thinking of a grey elephant from Denmark ??

Now - most normal people will answer yes....

However, there are smarty bums on this planet who have heard of this type of thing before....so, be expecting ;

1. A brown orangutan from Dominican Republic.

2. A spotted jaguar from Djibouti.


Not everyone chooses Denmark, but with only 3 countries in the English language beginning with D....Denmark is a sure bet.

All good fun....
