Below are four ( 4 ) questions and a bonus question.

You have to answer them instantly.

You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?

Let's find out just how clever you really are....

Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)


First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?





Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!

Try not to screw up next time.

Now answer the second question, but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK ?

Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...? (scroll down)




Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?



You're not very good at this, are you?



Third Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only . Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30 .. Add another 1000 . Now add 20 ... Now add another 1000 Now add 10 . What is the total?






Scroll down for answer.....





Did you get 5000 ?



The correct answer is actually 4100.


If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!


Today is definitely not your day, is it?

Maybe you'll get the last question right...

Maybe....


Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?



Did you Answer Nunu? NO! < /I>
Of course... it isn't!

Her name is Mary.
Read the question again!

Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?






He just has to open his mouth and ask...

It's really very simple.



Do you realize how stupid I felt after taking this test?

Sigh - as if I needed ANYMORE reason to feel stupid...

I figured I'd let you all feel the same way...

LMAO!

The 5000 one got me the WORST.

It just didn't figure in my head.

  11. Epicharis
    I got the third one wrong...but I only just woke up after 5 hours sleep so I don't feel too bad!
    1. wagerwitch
      Dudette - I'm telling you - that third one threw me for such a loop that I couldn't stand it - I double checked and triple checked my numbers. It was horrible.
    2. Epicharis
      hahaha! tricksy maths...
  12. wagerwitch
    UH HUH...

    Check it out:


    Take 1000 and add 40 to it = 1040


    Now add another 1000 = 2040


    Now add 30 = 2070


    Add another 1000 = 3070


    Now add 20 = 3090


    Now add another 1000 = 4090


    Now add 10 = 5000

    RIGHT? I mean RIGHT?

    now

    Say WHAT????


    N0w looking at it this way:

    1000
    1000
    1000
    1000
    40
    30
    20
    10
    -----
    4100


    I just can't figure out how it does that when doing it.
  13. Alcomum
    I got the blind man one right, and that was all. And I'm 33. And just out of a psychiatric hospital. This does not bode well methinks...
