It works in base 8. (2x7=16,3x7=25 etc)
And remember
Maybe there are no Orange Kangaroos in Denmark but there are Tan Cats in the
Dominican Republic.

Can anyone explain why the works? I know that any number multiplied by 9
gives a number whose digits add up to 9, but why? Is this an inevitable
outcome of our base 10 number system? Would a base 8 number system would
the same for the number 7?

1. Pick a number from 2 to 9. It can be 2 or it can be 9, or any number in
between.
2. Take that number that you've chosen, and multiply it by 9.
3. That should give you a two digit number. Take those two digit numbers and
add them together.
4. Take the resulting number and subtract 5 from it.
5. Take that number and correspond it to the alphabet, numbering the
letters. A =1, B=2, C=3, and so on.
6. Take your letter, and think of a country that begins with that letter.
7. Take the last letter in the name of that country and think of an animal.
8. Now, take the last letter in the name of that animal, and think of a
color.
9. But remember...
There are no ORANGE KANGAROOS in DENMARK.
