This is creepy






Think of a letter between A and W.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Keep going . . . Don't stop . . ..
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Think of an animal that begins with that letter.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Repeat it out loud as you scroll down.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Think of a man's/woman's name that begins with the
last letter in the animals name
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Almost there........
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Now count out the letters in that name on the fingers
of the hand you are not using to scroll down.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Take the hand you counted with and hold it out in
front of you at face level
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Look at you palm very closely and notice the lines in
your hand
.
.
.
.
Do the lines take the form of the first letter in the
persons name?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
. Of course not.......
.
.
.
.Now smack yourself in the head, get a life, and quit playing silly games

I did the rest of it, but didn't bother smacking myself in the face since I knew that wasn't part of it.

Well it worked for me! The name I ended up with was "Travis". I looked in my palm and saw a "T" right away. Then I noticed more letters right after. They were "h-i-s-i-s-l-a-m-e"  :P

I've got one that actually works...

1. Think of any number (you will be required to do some math, so keep it simple. But you can use any number. It does not matter)





2. Take your number and multiply it by 2.











3. Add 8









4. Divide the whole thing by 2











5. Take the value of this new number from step 4 and substract the original number you had selected from step 1.










6. Now convert your number to the corespondig alphabet letter (1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C, etc...)









7. Finally, think of any country in the world that begins with your letter.













You are thinking of.....




















Denmark!





(And if you couldn't come up with Denmark, you are obviously a morron)

The typical response would be "You are among the 2% who think differently than other people." or some such piddle and rot.

Promising.

I have a friend whose half Dominican so i obviously thought of that.

My mistake. This is a very old trick. Apparently Denmark was the only country that started with the letter "D" at some point.

Djibouti :


Dominica:


Republic:




I suppose I should modify the instructions to ensure you can only choose Denmark, then it would be more impressive. Oh well...  :(

Um.. the whole point of that exercise is to make anyone who didn't guess Denmark feel special because of how simple everyone else's minds are......

Or I could just say "Name a country that begins with your letter AND that the second letter of the country name is also the next letter of your letter." But that would just confuse people.
