12 Comments The Grey Elephants in Denmark Routine
The grey elephants in Denmark routine is a nice gambit that you can use in the attraction or comfort phase. It almost always creates a great response. In this one you pretend you can read her thoughts. She has to pick a number, country, animal etc. and you will try to guess it. So she has to keep the chosen number, country etc. to herself.
Tell her to do the following:
1. Pick a number between 1-10.
2. Times by 9.
3. Add both numbers together. For example 36 is 3+6=9
4. Minus 5 from that number.
5. New number corresponds to a letter. For example 1=A, 2=B, 3=C etc.
6. Pick a country starting with your letter.
7. Pick an animal starting with second letter of country.
8. Quick: Think about the first colour that comes to mind.
Now say this: You are crazy there are no Grey Elephants in Denmark!
What she picks:
1. The number doesn’t matter.
2. They times it to equal a multiple of 9.
3. All multiples of 9 when added together equal 9. For example: 45: 4+5=9
4. 9-5=4
5. 4=D
6. D will always equal Denmark. Some will pick Dominican Republic but that is rare.
7. Second letter of Denmark E. And E is almost always elephant.
8. Asked quickly how can they not pick grey when thinking of a huge elephant?

Or the girl can pick Djibouti, Jaguar, and black. Bahaha
but……1+9=10……
She picked 2,111111111 ? :D
I didn’t realise that 19 was a multiple of nine.
if you follow the instructions, you pick a multiple of nine, say you pick nine. Now add up the digits of that number. If your number was 54 it would be 5+4=9. But your number is nine, a single digit number. Think of it as 09 if that helps. 0+9=9.
Yes, this happens really often ;)
sorry, i tried it, not even close, got eagle, and blue……..nothing close to elephant and grey. good try though, i bet it works for most
I picked Dominican Republic, otter, and yellow.
Dubai, Unicorn, Indigo.
Btw, Dubai is not a country ;P
I said Denmark, Elephant and Blue….
I will never understand why guys complicate this so much. I never used a pick up line nor routines in my life and I had decent amounts of beautiful women. I really think this type thing will actually ruin mostly your odds than do anything good.
