I was going to save this for the Trading Post, but I think I'll post it here instead. I've heard that ya'll like puzzles.
I'm going to read your minds! All of you! (In Theory)
Think of a number, any number at all. (Don't cheat off somebody else, Think up your own number!)
Multiply it by 3.
Add 15.
Multiply it by 3 again.
By now, you probably have something like 2536 or something. Now, I want you to add up the digits of your number. 2+4+3+6 = 15 in this case.
If your answer is not a single digit, add them again. 1 +5 = 6 in this case.
Keep adding until you get a single digit.
Subtract 4 from your single digit 6-4 =2 in this case.
Now, if 1=A, 2=B, etc, find the letter that corresponds to your number. B, in my example.
Think of a Country that starts with that letter. (Brazil)
Take the second letter of your Country, and think of a wild animal that starts with that letter (Rabbit)
What color is that animal? (White)
Got your color? Great! Concentrate on it, and I'll read your mind.
Scroll down for the answer!
No, Really! Go back and do it! Don't just look at the answer! This is pretty cool!
HA! Gotcha! Made you waste all that time! Nobody can read minds! SUCKER!
OK, fine.
Yes, Elephants are Grey, but you can't find them in the Wild in Denmark.

WOW, for some reason I keep thinking of Gryffindor's Great Smite Debacle of 2006.....can not IMAGINE why??? DIGGER!! *thows hands up in disgust* Here I was all set to be amazed by some clever mathematical slight of hand.....and instead, well, I've just been bamboozled!  And, yes, I did all the math and machinations instead of just running to the bottom of the thread.  *stomps away to plot revenge* ooooo, that man is just infuriating! |

Apparently, it didn't work for you.
And I know nothing of the Great Smite Debacle
That's OK though, Blame me. I'm used to it now.

You Stop That Right Now! And, the great smite Debacle was when one player smited another player (Kingdoom - who had a terrible short temper on the best of days) as a joke. Well, it turned into quite the rediculous to do and I don't think anyone has dared to use the smite button ever again.  Heck, I don't ever think they work..... Thank you for posting, though  |

I'm actually curious as to what you did come up with.
And I'm also wondering exactly what processes Torra used.

Ok 11 x 3 = 33 33 + 15 = 48 48 X 3 = 144 (ewe, gross) 1 + 4 + 4 = 9 9 - 4 = 5 5 = E E = Ethiopia Second letter of Ethiopia = T T is for Turtle Turtles are (mostly) green But, then I have it on good authority that my 'math skills suck' so what do I know.  *Still wondering where the Elephant cam from* |

I'm sure that Torra meant that 5=E.
The mistake is mine. It always is.
I 'thought' 5, but typed 4.
If you all had subtracted 5 instead of 4, the results would have been cooler.
I'm sure I'll get harassed about his until the end of time too. Oh well...

It really would've been cooler if I'd gotten the instructions right.
And I've been banned from many a Pub in my misspent life..lol. This wouldn't be the first, for sure.

Lol, sure enough you wasted a ton of my time You try coming up with an animal that starts with.... wait, really, time yourself: N Took me 20 minutes before I used google, which told me this: * Naked Mole-Rats@ * Narwhals@ * Nematodes@ * New Guinea Singing Dog@ * Northern Cardinals@ * Northern Fur Seal@ * Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat@ * Northern Right Whale@ * Nurse Shark@ * Nutria@ Only Nutria is really an acceptable answer in my mind. Two word names don't count unless they both start with N |

LOL, so I'm reading Whelp's answer and I say out loud, "What's a Nutria and Wahoo doesn't miss a beat while he's making dinner and says "it's a large rodent". That man is a walking encyclopedia Personally, I would have voted for the Narwhal |
