What is that one "word game" with an animal, a color and #, where the answer is always the same?

Question

It goes something like - pick any animal that begins with the letter E. Then pick any color that begins with the letter R. Then take your age and add the 2 numbers and divide by....yada yada yada. Something.

How does this go??????

What happens is 99% of the time a person says elephant and red. Or maybe they write it down, and it's like you are reading their mind. The numbers part is something where the result number is always the same.

I remember doing this as a kid, but totally forget the "logistics" of it.


THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Here it goes.

Ask our friend to think of a number between 1 and 10. Then she multiplies that number by 9. Then she adds the digits together of her answer

Tell your friend to subtract 5 from that number.

Assigning a number to each letter (a = 1) she thinks that letter and thinks of a country that starts with that letter (no one will pick Djoubti, trust me)

Now ask her to think of an animal that starts wit the second letter of the country she's thinking - E (no one picks emu either)

Now, the color of that animal

A gray elephant from Denmark.
