Question: Think of a number between 1 and 9. (don't say it out loud). Multiply that number by 9. If your answer is a 2 digit number, then add the 2 digits together. Now subtract 5. Take this last number and match it to a letter of the alphabet where "A" = 1; "B" = 2; "C" = 3; "D" = 4; etc. Think of a country that starts with that letter. Take the last letter of that country and think of an animal that atarts with that letter. Take the last letter of that animal and think of a color that starts with that letter. There is only one tiny problem....There is no such thing as an orange kangaroo in Denmark.
Answer: Any number between 1 and 9 when multiplied by 9 will produce a 2 digit number. And the 2 digits always add to be 9. Subtract 5 brings you to 4. "D" matches the 4. Most everyone will say Denmark for a country starting with "D". Most everyone will say Kangaroo for the animal starting with a k. And orange is the most picked for the color beginning with an "O".
