Ok, almost everyone knows this ESP game, but I still thought it was interesting to put it up, seeing as it's almost foolproof.
So basically you approach a girl, blah blah blah, and then you ask her if she believes in ESP. She may say yes or no, but you tell her you would like to try it out and see if you can read her mind.
So basically, you tell her :
"Imagine in your head a big blackboard. Imagine taking a white piece of chalk from the table that's in front of you. Then, write down the first number that comes into your head, a number between 1-10.
Now, take that same piece of chalk and multiply that same number by 9.
So, is this new number a double-digit or a single digit number? (Usually, 90% of the time, it's going to be a double digit number because almost nobody chooses 1 as their number, or either 10 for that matter, but mainly 7).
Now, add up the two digits of your number. After that, subtract 5 from that number.
Ok, now what you're gonna do is assign a letter to this last number. The numbers correspond to the letters in alphabetical order : so for example, assign letter A to number 1, B to number 2, C to number 3, etc.
Now, I want you to quickly think of a country that starts with that letter. You got it?
Now quickly, think of an animal that starts with the last letter of that country?"
After all this, look her in the eyes, as if trying to read her mind and come up with this line : "Have you been drinking tonight?" (she may say yes or no, it is of no importance.
Follow up with "Because there are no kangaroos in Denmark"
Now, I'll explain. Take any number from 1 to 10 and multiply it by 9, and then add the two digits of that number and it will ALWAYS give you 9.
Once you do simple math 9-5, it gives you 4. As D is the 4th letter of the alphabet, you know she's gonna have to think of a country that starts with D. 98% of people will automatically think Denmark, as few people know of Djibouti and can't think of the Dominican republic.
Also, the last letter of Denmark is K. Most people automatically think of kangaroo.
And there you go. Now, if she says Djibouti or Domincan Republic, you can always say, well you see ESP doesn't work, and you played a nice little game.
If she thought of koala or kiwi as far as the animal, you can always rescue yourself by saying you were at least on the right continent since koalas and kiwis can be found, as well as kangaroos, in Oceania.
Basically, Denmark and Kangaroo will work in 95% of times. And you appear to be a divine mind reader, as well as being funny.
I really dont understand the first calculation..
2times 9 = 18+2=20..
4 times 9= 36 +4=40?
How.dO you end up.with that 9??
