Re: Do NOT scroll down
As for the animal one, the numerical answer is always 4
which gives D as the first letter of the Country
This gives us at least 5 possibilities
In alphabetical order I have
Denmark
Deutschland (Germany)
Djibouti
Dominica
Dominican Republic
So considering 2nd letters
we have E, J, O
Elk, Jackal, Orangutan are just some of the non-grey possible answers.

Re: Do NOT scroll down
By stage 3, everyone should have 9. So everyone should get to pick a country starting with 'D'. Denmark is the obvious (but not the only) choice. When choosing an animal beginning with 'E', most (but, yes, not all) will choose Elephant. Some are pink but most are grey. Yes, I know it doesn't work all the time but, hey, that's life

Perhaps because six rhymes with sticks. After saying six mentally a couple of times, you may associate it with sticks, which in turn is associated with carrot(s).

Yep, and a tombola, but could somebody bake a cake for me? Oh, and any suggestions for the raffle - everybody seems to think that carrots are a good prize

Re: Do NOT scroll down
I picked carrot
I have seen the other one before.
When asked to pick a country beginning with "D", 95%+ of people will pick Denmark. When asked to pick an Animal starting with "E", again 95%+ of people will choose Elephant. That's how it works, simple as that.

Took me longer to type the post than to think about the question.
It just so happens yesterday I was compiling some more Q's for Nemmy, one of which was what is the Capital of Djibouti. Hence when I needed a country beginning with D, Denmark was not my first thought. :¬)
