Numbers Trick

I've had the Britblog Humour Page people onto me,, telling me I haven't been funny enough.

Look, I'm trying, alroight!

I've got a lot of hungry mouths to feed (I'm getting an aquarium soon) and doing this blog is my only way of making a living.

You don't know what it's like,, getting up every morning, trying to think of something amusing or entertaining.

Do you know this numbers trick? It's quite well known now, but is a good trick if you don't know it.

First, think of a number. Any number at all will do, but as the next bit involves multiplying it by nine, a smaller number might be better. (where this trick often goes wrong is when people don't multiply correctly).

So right, you've thought of a number and multiplied it by nine? You've checked your answer and it's definitely right? OK

Now add all the digits in the number together. I.e. if your number is 312, you add 3 + 1 + 2 = 6.

If your total is more than one digit, just add the digits again, till you have just one.

Now subtract five from that digit.

Turn the number you have now into its corresponding letter of the alphabet - a =1, b = 2, etc.

Now think of a country that starts with that name.
(Hint: nothing too obscure please)

Now, take the second letter of that country and think of an animal that begins with that letter.


Now, scroll down to see what country and animal I think you've got ...










It's ...
