Not really... when you consider the number thing... you'll always end up with 4... which gives you d.

Not too many countries out there Starting with D.

Not too many mainstream animals stating with k.

What other fruit starts with o??

the reason it is is because if you multiply anything by 9 the resulting two digit number will be two numbers which add up to 9:
18
27
36
45
54
63
72
blahblahblah

Saw this on some magic show on tv once I think. The dude was trying to "read your mind" through the television. I kept thinking the guy was a dumbass. Wonder if he picked that up through the tv?
