I've seen this before. It only worked once out of four times for me this time. I am not impressed. After a while, perhaps you math people can tell us how it works? I don't really remember.

It's not math... it's because I'm weak in the brain...

Its a combination of three things. Basic math, human nature, and what magicians call 'forced choice'. Ive done similar tricks, and scared the hell out of my wife once or twice.
A forced choice is just that. Im going to give you all of these options, but youre going to pick the ones I want. For example......
As quick as you can, name an animal that starts with the letter E.
Now, as quick as you can, name a nation that starts with the letter D.
There are no Elephants in Denmark. 
Because of human nature, I have about a 90% chance of being right on both counts. Try that trick on your friends and see what you get....

I'm not one of the 90%. I seem to come up with An Emu in Denmark...

Really easy, if you want to forecast, it always shows the picture number 0 (one of the possibilities).

I once did the Grey Elephants in Denmark trick. Don't ever do it with a geography teacher.
Bald Eagle in the Dominican Republic.
Good grief!
