 IT IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT TO DO exactly as this says
 AND DO NOT,,,, I REPEAT DO NOT CHEAT
 DO NOT !!! SCROLL FORWARD....
If your  mental arithmetic is rusty, PLEASE HAVE A CALCULATOR READY!!!!!!!!!!!
 I've seen this before and maybe you have too. Please follow the
 instructions carefully and do not read ahead.

 ******************************************************************

 THIS IS GOOD, DON'T CHEAT! Don't look ahead either,
 otherwise you will spoil it for yourself !

 DO NOT SKIP AHEAD. Read this message ONE LINE AT A TIME and just do what it
 says. You will be glad you did. If not, you'll feel like a moron and wish
you
 hadn't.

 1)  pick a number from 1-9




 2)  subtract 5






 3)  multiply by 3






 4)  square the number (multiply by the same number -- not
      square root eg. 4x4=16, 6x6=36)





 5)  add the digits until you get only one digit
       (i.e.64=6+4=10;10=1+0=1)






 6)  if the number is less than 5, add five.  Otherwise
      subtract 4





 7)  multiply by 2






8)  subtract 6





 9)  map the digit to a letter in the alphabet  1=A, 2=B, 3=C,
      etc...





 10) pick a name of a country that begins with that letter





 11) take the second letter in the country name and think of an
        animal that begins with that letter






 12) think of the colour of that animal
