Haha. I'm finding it extremely humorous that this poll doesn't reflect a 2%/98% split.

Hehe. Actually, the "minority" is actually the majority...

Hahaha.

Wow. I think I REALLY need to get some sleep if I'm finding this so humorous...

I agree with Stephie. 2% is apparently a LOT of people. I'd like to see the other 98%!

Maybe they said it backwards. Maybe it's actually 2% of people that say the original answer, and 98% that don't.

Dominican Republic, Cat, Tangerine.

I think the reason that everyone is picking the 2 percent is that maybe they heard this "riddle" before and purposely try to think of something different.

Heck, I'm special! I'm in the 98% minority! I went Denmark, Kangaroo, Orange. And then I voted in the poll and put my name up in the 98% area, and found out that my 98% is the REALLY special people.

There's almost twice as many in the 2% rank, as there is in the 98% rank, so now I get bragging rights like all the rest of the 98ers! We're the mavericks, the independent thinkers, the ones who fall short of the majority with our unusual thought processes. Ha Ha!

Come on all you 98ers! Do the Super Goofy Dance with me!

Hm. I came up with Djibouti, Iguana, Apple, but that's only because I didn't want to come up with Denmark/Kangaroo/Orange, since that's obviously where this was leading (given 4 is the only possible one, Denmark will pop up for 95%+ people, etc).

These things kind of annoy me =p

That was fun! I couldn't remember what Denmark was .. Isn't it a US capital? But it worked out cause it ended with a k! And turned out to be the right place!

I couldn't even finish!! I said Dominican Republic, Cat, and I don't know any fruits that start with "T"!!!

PS kinda funny how 2% of the brainglers who took this are more than the 98% of brainglers who took this.

Maybe some of the people read ahead and just put "2" to be different and all... ironic

I thought of an iguana in Djibouti eating an apricot.

Is the glass half empty or half full?

okay, after doing some research, I'm not as amazed as before...


They are only 4 countries thats starts with the letter D, of course Denmark is the most notable.


as for the rest, it is much easier to say Kangaroo then orange...although Koala and apple might be the second choice.
