This problem has to do with probability.
Probability is the likelihood that something will, or will not happen.

Do not read the bottom of the page before you are finished doing each step of the problem.

1. Pick a number from 1-9.

2. Subtract 5

3. Multiply by 3

4. Multiply the number you have by itself    (for example, 6 x 6 = 36, 8 x 8 = 64)

5. Add the digits together until you get only one digit     (for example 36 -> 3 + 6 = 9, 64 -> 6 + 4 = 10 -> 1 + 0 = 1)

6. If the number is less than 5, add 5     (for example, 1 is less than 5 so 1 + 5 = 6).     Otherwise, subtract 4 (for example, 9 - 4 = 5)

7. Multiply by 2

8. Substract 6

9. Map the digit to a letter in the alphabet where 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

12. Think of the colour of that animal

Can you figure out why it is based on probability theory?
