[nik_the_brief]

Kangaroo - no.

It was a Koala with an apple - spot on for Denmark though. Something to do with the number 9 I think.

Kangaroo - no.

Spooky - I picked 9, Denmark, Koala and apple!?!? :eek: :lol:

Damn...thought I was the only 'special' 2%er :(

[Rabbit]

It is to do with multiples of 9

The only possible answers after multiplying by 9 are 09, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81 & 90, all of which give the answer 9 when the 2 digits are added together.

I had Dominican Republic, cat and tangerine by the way :p

[McMONSTRO]

Wierd.....Koala Bear and apple too!!!!

[jill]

I had Dakar, Rat and Tangerine. Actually, Dakar isn't a country is it? Doh.

[fluffy]

Well, i guess there's a lot of us 2% types here...(Denmark, Koala, Apricot)...perhaps it's why we have a Monster fetish and aren't riding Harleys or summat. Still, bumming around on the forum beats having to work I guess.

[slob]

9 times table... primary school stuff... spot on Rabbit.

[barnaby]

Are there any of the 0% who got Denmark, Koala & Orange.
No? Just me being special then.
Damn spelling!

[steviej]

Denmark, Koala & apple :D :D :D :D

[Mrs Soup]

For once I am one of the 98% - actually it's quite refreshing to be in the majority

Ahhh great minds think alike!!!

I had Domincan Republic, Cat and tomato < well it is a fruit isn't it?

lol!!!

[Leddy]

Denmark, Koala Bear and Raspberry for me.

[A Yerbury]

Burundi, stick insect, quince? what gives?

[fluffy]

Denmark, Koala Bear and Raspberry for me.

I REALLY hate being picky (honest i do, back me up here Mrs Soup) but a Koala is a Koala, not a Koala Bear.

Still, i guess it shows lateral thinking and Kangaroo avoidance...which (i'm lead to believe) is always a good thing.

Did anyone have Komodo and still end up at the orange...?

[Scotty]

for some reason i though t koala began with a C and hence i picked kangaroo

oh to be good at english
