PICK A NUMBER FROM 1 TO 9
I'll post the answer later:
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)
5) add the digits until you get only one digit (i.e. 64=6+4= 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 a mammal that begins with that letter.
12) think of the color of that mammal

1-5*3*12=144. 1+4+4=9
2-5*3*9=81. 8+1=9
3-5*3*-6=36. 3+6=9
4-5*3*-3=9.
5-5*3*0
6-5*3*3=9
7-5*3*6=36
8-5*3*9=81. 8+1=9
9-5*3*12=144. 1+4+4=9
At this point, you have to subtract 4 from all of them except 5, in which you add 5 to. This makes all of them equal 5. Then you multiply 5 by 2 and get 10. Then you subtract 6 from 10 and get 4. 4 then gives you D, and that is how you get D everytime.
You are going to get d no matter what.
