Mathematically speaking, it's not amazing, All it does is take advantage
of the peculiar fact that when you multiply any of the stated numbers by
nine, and add the two digits together, you will get nine.
18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81. Denmark is the only well known country that
starts with a 'D"; The last letter in Denmark is "K." The Kangaroo is
the only well known animal whose name begins with the "K," (There's a
bird, however, called a kildeer, as our birding friends know, which
would throw a monkey wrench into the process) The color orange is the
only color that starts with the letter "O.".
